Mantigue Island

Also known as: Mantigue Island Nature Park · Mantigue Sanctuary · Magsaysay Island

Mantigue is a small island about 3.5 km off Camiguin, and the reef around it is a protected sanctuary. From a sandy, gently sloping top the reef turns into a drop-off with short walls, overhangs and small caverns. Resident green sea turtles are seen on almost every dive, often resting between the corals. Big schools of jacks, mackerel, snappers and batfish patrol the reef edge, and eagle rays or blacktip reef sharks pass now and then. Day trips usually combine two dives with a picnic on the island.
