Lighthouse Reef
★★★★☆
(2,837)
A favorite night dive site in Malapascua found on the northern part of the island. The dive usually starts at dusk to enable divers to watch the Mandarin fish.
You can see, first-hand, the mating ritual of the breathtakingly beautiful Mandarin Fish. There is also an abundance of critters found at this site.
