Dive Special Shop - Siargao

Dive Special Shop keeps things simple on Siargao, which we appreciate. You won't find a glossy website or a massive retail space here, but what you do get is solid, no-fuss diving from a crew that knows the local sites inside out. They're a good pick if you're looking for a relaxed, authentic experience without all the bells and whistles, focusing instead on getting you to those less-frequented spots like the easy drift at Seeco Reef or the occasional manta sightings near Shark Rock. If you're staying in General Luna and just want to dive without the frills, these guys will sort you out.
