Gaspar is the most accessible of the Tres Reyes Islands just off the coast of Gasan and ranks among the most dived site on the island.
Photos shown here of Congressman Lord Allan Velasco's diving sojourn on this remarkable island, also site of the only underwater excavation in Marinduque.
A Chinese junk sank here that carried stoneware jars and covers, porcelain plates, dishes, saucers and bowls that dated back to the Ming dynasty. Stoneware jars recovered with relief dragon designs were similar to finds unearthed in some of Marinduque's caves.
Velasco is seen here examining marine life in the area. This area is within the Verde Island Passage Marine Corrdor, a busy sea lane that covers portions of the coastal waters of Batangas, the Mindoro provinces, Romblon and Marinduque.
Within this center of marine biodiversity, the largest concentration of marine life in the world has been identified between Batangas and Mindoro.
