Why dive here
With 82+ marine species recorded in the area - including manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), whale sharks and pufferfish - Ligid Caves offers some of Siargao's richest cave diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest June, August, September.
Ligid Caves delivers a different kind of dive for Siargao. It's a series of swim-throughs and small caverns, not deep, but offering a cool light show as the sun filters through the openings. You’ll weave around stalactites, spotting the occasional crab or small schooling fish hiding in the shadows. It’s a good option for divers looking for something beyond typical reef dives, especially if you're comfortable in enclosed spaces.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
