Why dive here
With 82+ marine species recorded in the area - including manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), whale sharks and pufferfish - Blue Cathedral offers some of Siargao's richest cave diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest August, September, November.
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.
