Tuble, named after the village it sits in is a nice dive site, its one of the better sites in Moalboal. And can be very nice as fewer divers tend to visit this site.
Tuble Reef
The dive starts with a wall going down to 25m. At the bottom is a sandy slope; very special are the vertical wall canyons. There is a small cave at 27-30m; with an in-going current watch out for this as it can be hazardous. During low tide the reef is very shallow; watch out with your entry and exit. At the end of the dive swim on the surface with positive buoyancy away from the wall so that the boat can come and pick you up. For snorkeling be careful during low tides as you might hurt yourself on the sharp edges of the coral reefs.
Most likely you will see big Parrotfish, a school of Razorfish (Aeoliscus strigatus), Turtles and like all other dive sites, many Anthias fish (Serranidae Family).
