Talima (Tauma) Wall (Olango)

A wall and reef on Olango's north-west side off Barangay Talima, dropping to 40 m - suitable for newer divers in gentle conditions.
Practical
Waypoint from Wannadive, which lists the site as 'Tauma' (10°17.45'N 124°03.9'E; flagged approximate by the site). Average depth 18 m, maximum 40 m, current usually low, visibility 10-30 m, open-water level; about 25 minutes by boat from Mactan. Local operators also name sites on this stretch Baring (north-west, a sloping sand flat dropping into a deep wall where tuna, sharks and barracuda are seen) and Mabini Point (northern tip, tricky currents) - names vary between operators.
