    Ka Osting is a straightforward dive off Malapascua, often a second dive after a longer trip. We've seen a good mix of smaller reef fish here, things like lionfish tucked into crevices and a few morays peeking out. It's a relaxed dive, good for photographers keen on macro subjects or anyone just wanting an easy cruise. Visibility can be a bit variable, but it's generally a pleasant, unchallenging spot.
