Mabini, Higatangan Marine Sanctuary
Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, thresher sharks, lionfish and pufferfish - Exotic House Reef offers some of Malapascua's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, July.
The Exotic House Reef is a surprisingly good option for a relaxed afternoon dive or a night dive if you’re staying nearby. It’s a shallow coral slope that won't give you any thrilling pelagic encounters, but it's great for macro. We’ve found a fair few Snow-Flaked Cones and Savigny's Brittle Stars tucked away amongst the coral and seagrass patches. It's an easy dive, good for new divers or those who just want to unwind after a deeper morning exploration. Keep an eye out for juvenile amberfish darting through the halodule and cymodocea.
