Actually it's Maniguin. It's about a 2 hour boat ride south of Boracay (can be rough in strong Amihan winds) and has really nice walls. If you're lucky you may see the famous school of scalloped hammerheads of the southeast tip of the reef. If Tubattaha is a 9 or 10 on a scale to 10, Maniguin is an 8. Very nice diving. I've done about 60 dives there ....give or take a few....Hank

thanks thats tragic, no matter how qualified you are you can always become a fatality. i keep telling myself it will never happen to me, im sure totit felt the same way but im really curious why he strayed from the group? guess will never know

The first times I went there we drove from Iloilo up the Antique coast and rented a boat out of Culasi. But you have to bring everything yourselves as far as tanks, compressor, food, tent, drinks etc etc. If you don't have tanks and a compressor you need a shop to take you as there is nothing on Maniguin but a small fishing village.
Most of the dive shops in Boracay do day trips there and sometimes overnighters. The last time I was there in 99' there were no "facilities" so you have to do it like the bears in the woods in the morning....if you get my drift. Unreal place. I always wanted to make a shop there....in the mold of Sipadan. Maybe someday........
