    Blue Cathedral is exactly what it sounds like: a large underwater cave off Siargao, dropping to 34m. We found the main chamber impressive, with light shafts cutting through the gloom on clear days. It's an intermediate dive, best for those comfortable with overhead environments and deep entries. Keep an eye out for resident groupers and barracuda patrolling the mouth.

    Safety Notes

    Deep dive (34m) - monitor air consumption closely. Advanced certification recommended.

    Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.

    Always perform a 3-minute safety stop at 5m before surfacing.
