Located off the eastern coast of Siquijor in the municipality of Maria, Candaping B Sanctuary protects a healthy stretch of fringing coral reef. The site transitions from a shallow reef flat covered in hard corals into a gentle slope and wall drop-off. Divers encounter abundant macro life along the coral heads alongside grazing sea turtles and schools of reef fish.
