There are a lot of dive sites for divers of all levels of experience, except maybe some of the southern dive sites, where strong currents can sometimes make diving challenging. The popular dive sites are Paliton Wall, Tulapus Sanctuary, Sawang (great dive for beginners), and Maite (popular night dive site).
