Why dive here
With 496+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, bull sharks and octopuses - The Pier offers some of Dumaguete's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest June, July, October.
Dumaguete’s Pier offers a unique muck dive, where the real show is often found in the small stuff. We’ve spotted frogfish, ornate ghost pipefish, and a variety of nudibranchs tucked among the debris and structures. It’s a photographer’s delight and ideal for divers who enjoy a slower pace, focusing on macro life rather than expansive reefs. Currents are usually mild, making it a relaxed dive.
