Dive-site story
Set around a group of seven rocky limestone islets just off the coast of Busuanga, Siete Picados is one of the most established marine protected areas in Coron. The submerged topography features undulating coral slopes and shallow coral gardens that drop off to a sandy floor. Extensive tracts of pristine hard corals, especially large table corals and staghorn thickets, cover the seafloor across the channel between the islets.
Lush fields of staghorn and acropora hard corals
Frequent encounters with resident green sea turtles browsing the reef
Dense aggregations of reef fish in shallow sheltered waters
