    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Paliton Staghorn, just off Dumaguete, delivers exactly what the name suggests: a sprawling field of staghorn corals. We found it a relaxing dive, perfect for newer divers or those looking for a long, easy bottom time to refine buoyancy. Look closely among the branches, and you'll spot resident reef fish darting between the coral heads. It’s a gentle introduction to the area’s reefs.
