Sunken Yatch - Siargao
The Sunken Yacht in Siargao offers a nice change from the usual reef dives, especially if you’re looking for something a bit different. It’s a relatively small wreck, but the way it rests on its side makes for some interesting swim-throughs and pockets to explore. We always enjoy seeing how quickly artificial structures become part of the local ecosystem, and here you'll find plenty of damselfish, schooling fusiliers, and the occasional lionfish lurking in the shadows. It’s a pretty chill dive, good for most skill levels, and a nice relaxed way to spend an hour underwater.
