What to expectFor freedivers
Apnea notesNovelty value — swimming through the bubble column is a unique sensation for freedivers. Otherwise the critter hunt is a long-hover scuba task; skip unless you want the bubble experience or are warming up in a sheltered zone.
Sub-site within the Secret Bay / Mainit Muck complex on the sheltered side of the southern peninsula. Named for the underwater volcanic bubbles venting from the seabed. Distinct from the Malajibomanoc hot-spring bubbles across in Tingloy.
