The underwater walls at Napantaw, San Francisco have huge gorgonian, black, and soft corals fed by the strong currents. Inhabitants of the reef include batfish, grouper, sweetlips, and pretty much every other reef fish you would expect to find on walls as diverse as these. Other names for the same locationare Rio's and Toshi's Wall.

There is a cave at 40 meters, so take a flashlight. Watch your depth: if you don't locate it within the first few minutes, simply concentrate on the amazing reef life a little higher up the wall to avoid risking the bends. Turtles and barracudas also frequent the area. Local divers have set up a mooring buoy to protect the reef from anchor damage. A modest dive fee is charged for every diver to help finance monitoring and protection measures undertaken by the barangay (village) council.
