Deep Reef/Rock
Limited Bottom Time

About This Dive Site

Turtle Rock is an advanced dive site located at the bottom of Sinandigan Wall, where a giant rock formation sits at 45m depth. Despite its name, which comes from the shape of a surface rock that dive guides use to locate the site, you shouldn't expect to find turtles here. This site requires deep diver training due to its depth.

The rock formation is flourishing with diverse marine life, especially Gorgonian Fans and whip corals that sway gently in the currents. This deep site offers experienced divers a chance to see marine life that isn't commonly found in shallower waters.

The site is home to various marine life including:

  • Sweetlips
  • Unusual Nudibranchs
  • Emperor Angel Fish
  • Thresher Sharks (occasionally)
  • Gorgonian Fans
  • Whip Corals

This is also one of the few dive sites in the area where lucky divers might spot a Thresher Shark, making it especially exciting for those seeking larger pelagic species.

Dive Planning Tip: This site is best dived on flood tide. Due to the depth and limited bottom time, it's recommended to follow the slope back up to Sinandigan Wall after exploring Turtle Rock, allowing you to finish your dive in shallower waters and extend your overall dive time safely.

Certification Required: Advanced Open Water with Deep Specialty or equivalent. This dive site reaches depths beyond recreational limits and requires appropriate training, equipment, and experience.
