Napantao Wall is the oldest marine sanctuary in southern Leyte and offers majestic wall diving with healty, rich coral growth. The fantastic wall dive starts at around 13 meters and drops down to around 50 meters. Currents can be strong, which brings in pelagic visitors like Tuna, Spanish Mackerel, devil rays, rainbow runners and midnight snappers. The wall is covered with soft corals, gorgonian sea fans and sponges in breathtaking colors. There are 2 walls, the major one which is shaped like a horse shoe has a big crack at depth which is full off sweet lips and spotted groupers. At about 12 metres on top of the wall there is an abundance of marine life and coral. Also a few white tip reef sharks can be found in caves.
