(Click on the name of the dive site to find out more about each one)
Sawang
Sawang is a bay about 10 minutes from the dive center. This dive can be done from the shore or from the boat. There are beautiful corals on each side of the bay with giant boulders on the inside of the bay that are fun to swim between and are home to many fish species. The middle of the bay is quite sparse with mostly a sand bottom.
Tubod Sanctuary
Tubod Sanctuary is a marine sanctuary located around 5 minutes by boat from the dive center. It has beautiful corals, a wide variety of fish and other marine life and some fun swim throughs. As there are no boats or fishing allowed in the sanctuary, the marine life is abundant and very friendly.
Tubod Point
Located on the edge of Tubod Sanctuary and less than 10 minutes by boat from the dive center, Tubod Point is another dive site blessed with beautiful corals, fish and turtles.
Giant Coral Bed
A beautiful sloping coral bed, that is home to an abundance of tropical fish and a magnificent variety of corals, as far as you can see.
​
You might also see, Bruce, the resident green sea turtle, that is bigger than most people
The Wall
Stretching between the Giant Coral Bed and Coral Garden is 'The Wall'.
​
A relaxing dive along a steep sloping wall with coral from top to bottom and often turtles resting under coral outcrops
Coral Garden
The coral garden, located at the end of the wall, is a large sandy area with coral bombies spread out like a manacured yard with garden beds throughout. Each coral bombie has its own community of fish. You can also find garden eels in the sand patches between the corals. This dive is often done as part of the Siquijor Dives Center Wall shore dive (Depending on your air consumption), but can be done as a boat dive also.
Baha Reef
Baha reef is a beautiful wall dive, with amazing corals and a fantastic variety of tropical fish. The best thing about Baha Reef is the large turtle population that calls it home. On the right day, you could see over a dozen turtles on one dive.
Maite Marine Sanctuary
In the heart of San Juan and only a short boat ride from the dive center, Maite Marine Sanctuary is one of our most popular dive sites with beautiful corals, swim throughs, common turtle interactions and a magnitude of colourful fish species. As a marine sanctuary, fishing is banned within its perimeter, which only increases the number of marine animals found there.
The River Mouth
Right in front of Lala-O Bridge and only 100m from the dive center, The river mouth is a mix of coral and sand patches and beautiful fish, sea snakes, sometimes turtles and many other fascinating sealife.
SDC Reef
A newly discovered dive site with a beautiful mix of corals and sand patches. Also one of the few coral reefs on the island that reaches depths greater than 20m with corals found in nearly 30m of water. There have been numerous spottings of large barracuda, along with turtles, all the reef fish found around the island mantis shrimps, spanish dancers and other fascinating sea critters. The best par is that this dive is done from the shore in front of the dive center meaning cheaper dives for our customers. We also use this dive site for our courses and night dives.
Paliton Wall
Paliton Wall is a sheer wall that goes from 8m to 35m.
​
It's grandure is impressive and with a plenitude of soft and hard corals and fish, it is a fantastic dive site.
​
Due to the depth and often strong currents, it is definitely an advanced diver and above, dive site.
Paliton Sanctuary
Another beautiful dive site, situated at the end of Paliton Wall. There is great coral cover and plenty of fish and other critters hanging out. At different times, there are also a large school of Jacks (Trevally) that can be found there.
