TUBOD MARINE SANCTUARY
On the main road, at one end of San Juan, the Tubod Marine Sanctuary is an area of more than seven hectares that has been protected for more than thirty years and where you can dive, swim or snorkel. It is undoubtedly the most beautiful spot to admire the corals and fishes in Siquijor. It is possible to rent snorkeling equipment (at the entrance, on the beach) or diving equipment (at the diving center of Coco Grove Beach Resort on the beach). The white sandy beach is beautiful and the sea is calm and crystal clear. Be careful, it is important to check the tides to go there when the tide is high otherwise swimming is not very pleasant. On the way there, a small hut offers fruit juices and other drinks. The seabed is very nice because it is protected, i.e. fishing is forbidden as well as the degradation of corals or the collection of shells. Among the hundreds of fish you can see, the famous clown fish (Nemo) playing in its anemone, the parrot fish, the grouper, the lion fish... all more colorful than the others. And what about the corals? It is quite exceptional to be able to access such a rich and bright coral garden only twenty meters from the beach. The Tubod sanctuary is also known to be home to giant clams, mollusks that can grow up to one meter. If you are lucky, you may even see sea turtles. A must-see in Siquijor!
