Dive-site story
Located off the southwestern coast of Siquijor, Cangmunag Sanctuary features a protected coastal fringing reef. The profile transitions from a shallow seagrass and coral garden flat into a gentle coral-strewn slope that drops toward deeper sand. Healthy hard coral formations and soft coral outcroppings provide shelter for dense reef fish communities and frequent sea turtles.
Protected marine sanctuary status allowing reef fish populations and coral cover to thrive
Gentle reef slope ideal for extended bottom times and relaxed macro photography
Regular sightings of green sea turtles resting among soft coral bommies
