West Point, off Pamilacan Island, is a pretty gentle introduction to diving in Dumaguete. The reef itself sits around 22 meters, mostly a sloping collection of hard corals with some good bommies scattered throughout. We've seen a lot of nudibranchs here, small reef fish, and it’s a good spot to just cruise along, spotting angelfish and the occasional puffer. It’s a comfortable dive, perfect for beginners or when you just want a relaxed second or third dive of the day.
