Dive-site story
Located off the northwest coast of Siquijor within a local marine sanctuary, Caticugan Wall features a gently sloping coral flat that transitions into a steep drop-off. The vertical face is encrusted with gorgonian sea fans, barrel sponges, and dense clusters of soft corals. Divers drifting along the wall frequently encounter schooling anthias, resident green sea turtles, and small critters tucked into crevices.
