Ticao Pass is a channel known for its powerful currents, which create a plankton-rich bottleneck. This attracts large filter feeders, making it one of the most reliable places in the Philippines to see both whale sharks and manta rays.
Features
A nutrient-rich channel with very strong currents. This is a world-class destination for seeing pelagic filter feeders. Sites like 'Manta Bowl' are cleaning stations for manta rays, and whale sharks are frequently seen feeding in the current.
