Sombrero Island
Location. Located north of Sepok Point, the northern end of Maricaban Island.
Access. 12-15 min by boat from Eagle Point pier Southwest across the Maricaban Strait until Northwest of Sombrero Island.
Average Depth. 33ft
Maximum Depth. 60ft
Conditions. Calm with a strong current, but it can get rough on the surface with visibility up to 80ft.
The site contains much the same marine life as Beatrice Rock, but the fish life is less prolific.
Bahura
Location. Located at the northern part of Caban Island.
Access. 10 min by boat from EAGLE POINT pier Southwest across the Maricaban Strait until Northwest of Sombrero Island.
Average Depth. 50ft
Maximum Depth. 100ft
Conditions. Calm with a strong current, but it can get rough on the surface with visibility up to 80ft.
This dive consists of slopes, small drop-offs, overhangs and swim-throughs. It is much the same as Beatrice Rock with teeming fish life and fierce currents.
Layag-Layag
Location. Located at the northwest corner of Caban Island.
Access. 11 - 14 min. by boat from Eagle Point pier Southwest across the Maricaban Strait.
Average Depth. 33ft
Maximum Depth. 60ft
Conditions. Calm with medium to fierce currents; considered to be a good snorkelling site, but it is essential that would-be snorkellers understand tide tables and choose slack water.
The coral is teeming with marine life and often has very good visibility. All the expected smaller reef fish are to be seen and, when the currents are running, shoals of pelagic fish are common.
