Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, thresher sharks, lionfish and pufferfish - Dakit-Dakit offers some of Malapascua's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, July.
Dakit-Dakit offers a relaxed dive, often a good second or third tank for the day. It’s a gentle slope, mostly sand, with occasional coral patches where you can spot nudibranchs if you’re patient. We’ve often found groups of garden eels swaying in the milder currents here, and it’s a pretty reliable spot for Savigny's brittle stars tucked away. While you probably won't find thresher sharks here, it's a solid choice for macro photographers or divers looking for an easier profile after a deeper morning dive.
