Depth: 60-130 ft. (18-40m)

These wrecks are only about 130

ft. (40m) apart, allowing divers to

visit two wrecks on the same dive.

The lack of currents has prevented

much coral from growing on the

two hulls of these Japanese ships

that sunk in WWII.

Sponges and tunicates, whip

corals and the odd shell or two

decorate the wreck site.

Location: SE Talicud Island

Depth: 16-130 ft. (5-40m)

Found west of Talicud Island, this

attractive dive site in Davao is also

fondly called Linosutan by local

diving folks of Barangay Linosutan.

Divers are treated to submerged

sand dunes, hard and soft coral

beds, tropical fish, wrasse, garden

eels and parrotfish. Anemones here

have lots of shrimp, damsels,

anthias and fusiliers.

This is a great all-around site for

photographers and divers levels.

S

iargao is known for its great surf but
snorkelers and divers may want to
make a stop at this idyllic isle as well.
Located in the province of Surigao del
Norte, it has some beautiful limestone
formations at Sohoton Cove. Of interest to
divers and snorkelers is the Jellyfish Lake.
A rare find, these marine lakes are known
only to Palau and one site in Indonesia. The isolation and lack of predators
has caused the jellyfish to effectively lose the sting in their tentacles. The
jellies are most plentiful April through June. Outside the cove is a fan-
covered wall great for diving and snorkeling. The cove has clear water,
stalactites, bats, wild orchids and some climbing adventures too.
