About this dive site
This dive site, officially named Saavedra Marine Sanctuary, is a significant location within Moalboal's first sanctuaries. The area features a sloping seabed covered in corals that descends into a steep wall reaching 55 meters in depth. A truly remarkable feature of this wall is the abundance of giant fan corals – approximately one hundred exist here, creating a unique and visually stunning environment. Divers can expect to encounter a wealth of macro life, including small invertebrates, amongst the corals and along rocky outcrops. Furthermore, there’s a good chance of observing blacktip reef sharks during their dives.
