    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Pukawon in the Visayas is a decent spot if you’re keen on slowing down and searching for the smaller stuff. We’ve had good luck here finding cowries, particularly the Snakehead and Porous varieties, tucked away in crevices, along with some interesting cone snails like the Cloth-of-Gold. It’s not a site that screams with big pelagics or dramatic topography, but for macro enthusiasts, there’s enough to keep your eyes busy. We'd suggest it for a relaxed morning dive, maybe pairing it with another nearby site, especially if you enjoy searching for cryptic critters.
