Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, thresher sharks, lionfish and pufferfish - North Point offers some of Malapascua's richest wall diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, July.
North Point is one of those Malapascua sites that sometimes gets overlooked, but we think it’s worth a look if you’ve got the time. It’s a good spot for a relaxed dive, often with less current than some of the other local sites. You’ll find a mix of soft corals and some decent hard coral formations, especially in the shallows. Keep an eye out for Pelagic threshers cruising by, and we’ve also spotted some chunky Amberfish here. It’s a nice alternative for those days when you want to skip the crowds or just enjoy a calmer drift.
