    The Mountain" is a true pinnacle dive in the Visayas, an impressive seamount that rises from the depths. We’ve found it’s best explored as a multi-level dive, allowing you to gradually ascend and take in the scale. Schools of jacks and barracuda often swirl around its peak, making for some dramatic wide-angle photo opportunities. This site is ideal for experienced divers looking for a straightforward, current-dependent dive with big fish action.
