Dive destinations
With over 25 excellent dive sites, Sogod Bay offers a wealth of discoveries and challenges to the adventurous diver.
- House Reef
- Divided into three dives: Max Climax Wall, Voltaire’s Rock and Baluarte. A good diversity of fish, corals and macro at your doorstep.
- Padre Burgos Jetty
- A must for muck diving and night diving enthusiasts. The abundance of small creatures makes it ideal for macro photography.
- Tangkaan Point
- Heaven’s Gate, Turtle Rock and the Medicare have fantastic corals that always turn up surprises, only ten minutes’ boat ride from the resort.
- Limasawa Island
- Spectacular, historic island with dives to suit all abilities and tastes: Zach’s Cove for sheer depth and gorgonians; Adrian’s for huge table corals; Blue Tang Drift for pelagic action; and Sea Snake Shoal for — you guessed it — lots of sea snakes!
- Malitbog
- Cantamuac, Bunga Bend, and the Cemetery Wreck make for underwater thrills and a visual feast that should delight seekers of great photographs or just plain adrenaline.
- Liloan
- An assortment of dive sites, excellent opportunities for spotting whalesharks, and the most exhilarating and challenging drift dive that we recommend to only the most experienced divers!
- Panaon Island
- Napantaw Fish Sanctuary offers exhilarating wall dives. Corals are prolific, fed by the area’s strong currents. A new site, Son-ok Point, is also fast becoming a resort favorite.
Neighboring islands this side of the Pacific also offer spectacular dives. Take our full-day safari to Dinagat Island in Surigao del Norte, three hours by boat from the resort. Featuring excellent underwater mounds and pinnacles in strong and tricky currents, it is recommended for experienced divers (100+ logged dives).
