Mansoud Wall - Siargao

Mansoud Wall delivers exactly what the name suggests: a coral wall dropping deep, usually around 20-30 meters, though it keeps going. We’ve drifted this site many times, finding it best for divers comfortable with some current, which can pick up at times. Look for schools of jacks out in the blue and plenty of nudibranchs if you slow down and search the cracks. It's a solid wall dive for those exploring Siargao's underwater scene.
