Diving at Turtle Rock

Turtle rock is a spectacular dive site. Situated on the outside of Sogod bay on the peninsular of Tankaan. It has 4 large rock formations starting at 13 meters dropping down to around 40 metres. On the second rock there is a massive Gorgiaon fan in the sand around the rocks is a large garden eel colony. Plenty of mid night snappers long nose emperors and unicorn fish . The hard corals are outstanding












Diving at Adrians Cove, Limsawa


Adrians Cove is situated on the east side of Limasawa. It is a marine sanctury Limasawa is also famous for Ferdinand Magellan, and the first Catholic mass in the Philippines. It is a outstanding wall dive dropping down to about 40 metres. Walls are covered with soft corals, gorgonian fans and green tree corals. This site is quite unusual it has deep gorges and a number of caves. Adrians cove normally has plenty of nudibranchs, pacific oysters and occasional hammerhead and humped head wrasses.
The view around the island is spectacular normally do 2 dives on Limasawa giving you breath taking views while doing your dive interval.


Diving at Lungsodaan Marine Protected Area. (Also known as Max climax)



This dive is one of the best in the bay and my favourite. I have been diving it for about 6 years. It has every thing. Walls, reefs, softs and hard corals, big pelagics, fans, pygmy seahores, devil rays, eagle rays, midnight snappers, sweetlips, frog fish, spotted potato cod, dwarf snapper and plenty more.

The whole dive site is also a marine protected area which keeps the spear fisherman out. Maximum depth is around 45 metres. Strong currents sometimes Viz is normally around 25 metres.
