    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Dive Point Coral reef, just off Dumaguete, is a solid spot for easing back into things, especially if you’re fresh off the plane. We’ve found it’s ideal for newer divers, with a gentle slope down to 19m. You’ll drift past some healthy patch corals, keeping an eye out for resident clownfish darting amongst anemones and the occasional moray eel peering from its hidey-hole. It’s a low-key, pleasant dive, a good warm-up before you hit some of the more dramatic local sites.
