Adrian's Cove - Siargao

Adrian's Cove in Siargao offers a mellow reef dive, a nice contrast to some of the area's more spirited drift dives. We typically find red-banded lobsters tucked into crevices, and it's a good spot to try and find the quirky Shortspine Goosefish, which always makes us smile. The resident Stripy fish are pretty abundant here too, easy to spot against the coral. It’s a comfortable dive, especially for those looking for a relaxed pace to explore the reef’s nooks and crannies.
