Nonoc Shoal

Nonoc Shoal is in close proximity to the Larena Harbor. It is a wall dive and strong currents and bad visibility can occur at this dive site, making it one of the more difficult sites in Siquijor.

Beautiful wall, but due to the proximity of the harbor and ships, you will not find a big variety of wildlife. Besides reef fish, there is a small chance for green sea turtles.
