Help! Ducomi Pier - Dumaguete

[chip104]

The pier is not the end all be all of dive sites in Duma. I went there just for Apo Island and enjoyed it. Plus the chicken inasal is soooo delicious...mmmmm....

In the video that was posted by Mozart, the dive brief is showing a depth of 18 meters... is that correct? If so then they're leaving 15 meters of the piling untouched... (do I understand this correctly?)

I can confirm that the max depth at the bottom of the small pier is 18m - it does go deeper but there is nothing worth looking at. The larger pier is slightly shallower but only by a couple of metres.

I would agree with you - Apo Island is also very good - saw turtles on 2 out of the 3 dives. However, I think what makes The Pier so special is that there is so much diversity of life in a really small area - you don't need to swim great distances to get to different species.

Sorry - can't comment on the chicken inasal!

yep, I just wouldn't hold back a trip to Duma due to the construction happening. Plenty of other things to see.

Well then, it sound like even though it's bad, it could be a lot worse and that they're doing the best they can to preserve as much as possible.

don't skip a trip to Duma cause of the Pier... depending who you are diving with, but with the right dive-shop and guide you will go absolute satisfied back home..
