Kilambing North - Siargao

Kilambing North is a gentle drift dive, making it a good spot if you're just starting out or prefer a relaxed pace. The reef here is mostly sloping hard coral, with a few bommies providing shelter for damselfish and small wrasse. We’ve seen juvenile reef sharks cruise by on occasion, and the visibility is usually reliable at around 15-20 metres. It’s a solid choice for an easy second dive.
