Mantigue Turtle Point, just off Siargao, is exactly what it sounds like: a good spot for finding turtles. We often drop down to about 12-15 metres here, settling in to watch green sea turtles graze on the seagrass or cruise by in the gentle current. It’s a pretty relaxed dive, perfect for newer divers or those who just want to spend some quality time observing these graceful creatures without any challenging conditions. Visibility is usually decent, around 15 metres, which gives you plenty of time to spot them coming.
