Gato Island
수심은 사이트 상단부터 통상적인 최대 수심까지의 범위이며, '권장 자격증'은 업체에서 통상적으로 요구하는 주요 인증 기관 기준이지 법적 규정이 아닙니다. 조류와 시야는 매일 달라지므로, 모든 정보는 계획 수립용 참고 범위로 활용하세요.
Gato is a fang of rock in the Visayan Sea, a marine sanctuary and sea-snake haven where banded sea kraits come ashore to rest and hunt through the shallows with unnerving nonchalance. The marquee moment is the tunnel, a roughly 30 m passage cutting beneath the island; at its exit, whitetip reef sharks habitually idle in the gloom, silhouetted for arriving divers. Around the flanks, overhangs shelter cuttlefish, frogfish, seahorses, and nudibranchs in numbers that justify the crossing alone. Torch required, humility recommended, and count on the snakes ignoring you completely.
바로 그 순간: The under-island tunnel with waiting whitetips, resident sea kraits, dense macro under every ledge
지형: Boulders, overhangs, and a swim-through tunnel beneath the islet
조류: Sheltered faces most days; some flow through the tunnel and around the points.
진입: About 45 minutes by banca west of Malapascua; usually a two-dive trip with surface interval in the island's lee.
입수 전에 알아두세요
위험 요소: An overhead tunnel with surge on some tides; venomous (though placid) sea kraits deserve space.
보존: A protected sanctuary once used for turtle-egg and snake harvesting, now patrolled; fees fund the wardens.
