Notes

Pangangan Island’s mangrove fringe — along the causeway connecting the island to San Isidro–Lawis — is a formally designated Mangrove Swamp Forest Reserve (designated 1981, listed separately in this inventory); this is documented as a protected area, though it is not confirmed whether the reserve’s protections extend specifically to the dive site itself. [TO ENRICH: confirm whether this dive site sits within or adjacent to the reserve’s protected boundary]
