#85 : Marigondon cave, Mactan

Awesome, a big cave just off Marigondon beach. Entrance off 100 meters from beach at 20-30m, it's huge, you could park a bus inside. Goes apprximately 50 meters inside, but its so big that you can see the entrance at almost all times. Went all the way in, with the great lead from Jens/MSDC. Some people have apparently died diving here, there are a few graves and memorial crosses. Tough luck.

We were quite excited in here, and since already had a deep dive this morning, ended up doing a 25 minute decompression stop at 5 meters. It was worthwhile, encountered two branded sea snakes / kraits, a toadfish (!) usually only in Mexico, a red lionsifh, nudey branches, a spotted crab, pipefishes etc. Nice but totally destroyed aafterwards, thats what the nitrogen does for ya.

MAx depth 36m, divetime 65min inc. 25 min deco
