    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    San Miguel is an easy dive in Dumaguete, good for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. The gentle slope reaches about 20 metres. We often spot pipefish and small nudibranchs here, tucked into the reef patches. It’s a comfortable site if you want to take it easy and practice your buoyancy.
