Bujong Shoal - Siargao

Bujong Shoal gives you that classic Siargao pinnacle dive, a real sense of being out in the open ocean. We've seen some interesting stuff here, like the Stripy and the Shortspine Goosefish – not exactly your everyday reef fish. Keep an eye out for red-banded lobsters tucked into the crevices. It’s a site for divers who appreciate the subtler, more unique finds, rather than just big schools or dramatic drop-offs. We often find ourselves just hanging out, watching the currents swirl around the pinnacle.
