Dauin 02: The Macro Marvels of Negros

Dauin offers a diving experience that feels more like a treasure hunt than a swim. While the black sand slopes might look barren at first glance, they are actually teeming with the most photogenic miniature life forms in the ocean. This is not about covering distance; it’s about hovering inches from the bottom, scanning the algae and rubble for creatures that are often smaller than a grain of rice. It is the kind of place that rewards the patient observer with sightings of animals so cute and bizarre they don't seem real.

Why We Chose This Sticker Design

We couldn't do a Dauin collection without the viral superstar of the macro world: the "Shaun the Sheep" Nudibranch (Costasiella kuroshimae). This little sea slug has captured the hearts of divers everywhere because, well, it looks exactly like a cartoon sheep! We illustrated this tiny grazer perched on its favorite green algae leaf to capture that "pasture" vibe. We emphasized its beady eyes and leafy cerata to highlight just how adorable these microscopic critters are. It’s a design dedicated to the tiny, whimsical wonders that make macro diving so addictive.
