Angel's Cove - Siargao

Angel's Cove in Siargao is a pleasant enough dive, a nice drift along a sloping reef that’s often quieter than some of the more boisterous sites around the island. We’ve seen small schools of big-eye trevally here, swirling past the gorgonians, and it’s a good spot for macro enthusiasts if you take your time. Look out for banded cleaner shrimp tending to their stations and the occasional bristletail leatherjacket camouflaged amongst the thinner birdsnest coral. We'd say it’s a solid choice for an afternoon dive, particularly if you’re after a relaxed pace after a morning of surfing.
