Punta West offers a straightforward dive along a gently sloping reef in the Visayas. You'll find a decent mix of common reef fish here, like parrotfish and damselfish, flitting among the corals. It's a relaxed spot, good for a second dive of the day or for divers who prefer a more sedate pace. The currents are usually mild, making it quite comfortable.
