Nat-Nat: a great dive site on the door steps to El Nido Thanks to its nearness to El Nido town and to its high variety of marine life, Nat-Nat is excellent for ending a diving day or for night diving. It is fringing reef with sandy patches located south of Cadlao Island. Its shallow waters house an incredible collection of corals, fishes and macro life. Turtles, yellow tail barracuda, trigger, rabbit, trumpet anemone fish are always there. You will be amazed by the numerous species of nudibranch that you can encounter there. During night time, this dive site comes to a different life. Seahorses are a common sight along with a variety of hermit crabs and shrimps. Cat Sharks, Spanish Dancers and Helmut Gurnards are the uncommon species to watch out for.

Helicopter Island Dive Spots: Helicopter island dive spots offer a very wide variety of marine life and an amazing (and unique) collection of corals. The real name of Helicopter Island is Dilumacad. Locals and tourists named it due to its very special and recognizable shape. There are actually 3 different dive spots around Helicopter Island. One of them is our secret diving place with pristine corals and huge schools of fusiliers! Very close from El Nido (6km), it is a great place for beginners and students. With rich and shallow reefs, it suits perfectly to fun divers with a beautiful drift dive. When sea conditions are not that good (it happens!), you might spent your time between Helicopter and Cadlao Island. During summer season, sea grass grows on the sandy bed. It becomes the feeding ground for green sea turtles. This is also the only place where you can find all 7 species of anemon fish present in Bacuit Bay.
