About Angel's Cove
Angel's Cove is a boat-accessed training reef off Talicud Island in the Davao area of the Philippines. The site is fairly confined, with a reef section that connects to a wall, so it works well for relaxed fun dives, photography, and deep-diver practice when conditions are calm. Divers often see green turtles, triggerfish, clownfish, lionfish, and other reef life, while banded sea kraits are a notable feature for patient observers. It is a good fit for novice-friendly guided diving without feeling like a wide-open drift site.
