Cathedral Wall Dive

 • Cathedral Wall
One of the excellent dive site in Balicasag Island with a profusion of cracks and crevices that require a flashlight to explore. Pelagics hang off the wall in the current, and clouds of reef fish dart in and out of the profuse hard and soft corals, and sponges.

Cathedral Wall takes you down the drop-off on the eastern side of the island, and gets its name from the turtles which hide in caves about 20-25 meters (60-75 feet) down. The key word is "hide". Don't be surprised if turtles do not materialize immediately: be patient, and if you're lucky you'll soon see what one diver described as a "B-52 sized" turtle swim out of its lair. While you wait, you can enjoy the scenery on the wall outside the caves: cushion stars, a profusion of feather stars, and a vast variety of reef fish, including lionfish and triggerfish. Mackerel are also common. In the shallower water here anemones, always with their resident clownfish, are abundant.
