    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Salagdoong Beach offers a gentle introduction to diving in Dumaguete, typically staying around 17 meters deep. It’s a sandy bottom site with scattered coral heads, where you might spot a few nudibranchs or a passing snapper. We find it’s a good spot for beginners getting comfortable, or for skills practice when you need calm conditions. There isn't a lot of current here, making it a relaxed dive.
