East Tangat Wreck
Little is known about this wreck and no surface pictures of the boat are available. It is a nice wreck for beginners and snorkelers with the bow at a shallow 3 meters and the stern at 18m. There are no corals on the ship itself, but nearby is a small reef and even a beach to relax after a day of diving. Rags II usually stays here overnight in this protected channel between Tangat and Apo Island (not to be confused with the one at Apo Reef or Dumaguete).
