This is a very small shoal, lost in the sea. Kimut Shoal is for me better than Monad cos smaller and with less divers.
Marine life is great and you probably see Thresher Sharks ! Top of the shoal is 15m deep. Pelagic fishes can be seen there.
9.3 nautical miles east southeast from Malapascua Island. Approx the double distance than Monad Shoal.
Kimut Shoal is also known as Kimud Shoal - Kemod Shoal.
