Tingo Point (Olango)

The extreme northern point of Olango, where the wall drops to 40 m and early-morning divers have a chance of thresher sharks.

Practical

Waypoint from Wannadive (10°17.716'N 124°04.5'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. Wannadive: 'many chances to see thresher sharks in the morning' - go on the first boat. Wikivoyage warns that currents around the northern point (Mabini Point) are tricky; dive with a local guide and a surface marker buoy, as bangka traffic passes the point.
