Taklong Island National Marine Reserve
Why dive here
With 554+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, manta rays and mobula rays (devil rays) - Toyo Reef offers some of Visayas's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, October.
Toyo Reef is a solid dive, a good stop if you’re exploring the Visayas. We’ve seen a decent assortment of coral here, nothing dramatic but healthy enough to attract some interesting characters. Keep an eye out for the Donkey Croaker, they're usually milling about, and we’ve spotted the occasional Half-smooth Golden Pufferfish tucking itself into crevices. If you like macro, there’s often a Mangrove Crocodilefish camouflaged on the reef. It’s a pretty relaxed dive, generally suitable for all experience levels, and a nice contrast to some of the more current-swept sites in the region.
