Why dive here
With 82+ marine species recorded in the area - including manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), whale sharks and pufferfish - Japanese Garden offers some of Siargao's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest June, August, September.
Japanese Garden sits just off Siargao, a gentle sloping reef dive. It’s a good spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. You’ll drift past patches of hard corals and a few anemones with clownfish, maybe a passing turtle if you’re lucky. It's a nice, easy way to get in the water.
