Sawang

If you’re looking for a dive spot in Siquijor that feels raw, peaceful, and slightly mystical underwater, Sawant is one of those places that quietly leaves an impression on you. Known for its coral canyons, swim-throughs, rock formations, and dramatic light rays during good visibility days, the area offers a mix of relaxed exploration and technical challenge depending on depth and conditions. The terrain is filled with cracks, crevices, mini tunnels, and coral-covered slopes that make every descent feel different. Freedivers love Sawang for: • Clear blue water during calm conditions • Beautiful reef structures and underwater landscapes • Light play inside narrow passages and canyons • Encounters with turtles, reef fish, nudibranchs, and other macro life • A calm, almost eerie stillness underwater that gives Siquijor its signature vibe Some sections are beginner-friendly for line training and fun dives, while deeper swim-throughs and cave-like areas are best explored only with proper experience, safety protocols, and local guidance. If you enjoy dives that are more about atmosphere, exploration, and connection with the underwater terrain rather than crowds or commercialized spots, Sawang is definitely worth experiencing.
