Kalanggaman Island

Kalanggaman is the postcard: a sliver of an island trailing a white sandbar into turquoise water, administered from Leyte and visited from Malapascua as a full-day outing. Underwater, both flanks fall away in walls that carry the area's cleanest water, frequently 25 m or more of it, over healthy hard coral, barrel sponges, and gorgonian fans. Turtles and Napoleon-sized wrasse cruise the drop, pyramid butterflyfish feed off the wall, and deeper ledges occasionally hide a resting whitetip. The diving is straightforward drift-and-gaze, and the surface interval on the sandbar does half the selling.

वह पल जिसके लिए आप आते हैं: Best visibility in the area, twin walls off a photogenic sandbar, relaxed drift profiles

टोपोग्राफी: Steep coral walls flanking a sandbar islet

करंट: Walls catch passing current; dives run as easy drifts along whichever side is working.

प्रवेश: A 1-1.5 hour crossing usually run as a two-dive day trip with a sandbar lunch stop; island fees apply.

खतरे: Open-water crossing and current on the exposed corners.

संरक्षण: Day-trip visitor numbers and fees are managed by the Palompon municipality; pack out everything.

Nitrox: यहाँ इसका फ़ायदा है — प्रोफ़ाइल उस रेंज में हैं जहाँ enriched air no-stop समय को सार्थक रूप से बढ़ाता है (इसके उपयोग के प्रशिक्षण के साथ)।
