Dive-site story
Pindawon Wall drops vertically along the eastern coastline of Samal Island in the Davao Gulf. Divers drift past deep crevices and overhangs draped with gorgonian sea fans, encrusting sponges, and clusters of soft corals. The upper reef flat provides a relaxed safety stop among hard coral formations before surfacing.
Steep wall topography featuring fissures, small ledges, and deep overhangs
Dense clusters of sea fans and whip corals anchored along the vertical drop-off
Occasional patrolling reef sharks and green turtles out in the open blue
Location

Seasonality
