    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The Lighthouse site in Dumaguete is a popular shore dive, typically offering easy access. We've often found it's a good spot for spotting critters like frogfish, nudibranchs, and a variety of pipefish, tucked into the rubble and small coral patches. The gentle slope makes it a relaxed dive, suitable for photographers and those who enjoy a slower pace searching for macro subjects. Visibility can vary, but it's generally decent for muck diving.
