Overview
North Point sits at the northern tip of Malapascua. The wall and slope run from about 15 to 30 m, broken by overhangs and small caverns, and the water here can bring in bigger animals as well as plenty of macro life.
It is a good choice for divers with some experience who want a change from the shallow reefs. Current can run along the point, so the dive is planned around it.
