Our third divespot was Dakit Dakit, which means Two Rocks. There are also deep walls. Lionfish on the wall.
Lizardfish.
This divespot has also something special. Huge school of fishes. Here is a small part of the group.
It's very interesting the see how the group moves and change the formation.
Petri with the fishes.
There was thousands and thousands of jacks. Or are these sardines? Anyway many.
Do you want to count?
Petri is somewhere behind the group. You can see only little bit bubbles.
Petri took this video clip which helps to understand how big was the school of fishes.

It was great diving day in Mactan. Must go diving there also some other time. If you are also interested to dive in Mactan just contact Petri.
