Gunter's Wall: Limasawa wall with gorgonians
Local operator required
Boat access and sanctuary handling are easiest through a local operator.
Use a boat trip to Limasawa and plan for a steep wall that can run with current, so the dive fits confident buoyancy and an unhurried team.
About Gunter's Wall
Gunter's Wall is a steep reef wall off Limasawa Island in Southern Leyte. A shallow top gives way to a long drop, with large gorgonian fans, black coral patches, and a busy mix of reef fish along the face. It suits buoyant scuba dives that can handle a moving water column and reward slow wall scanning for macro life and passing schools.

Local Intel For Gunter's Wall
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best for buoyant wall dives with slow reef-face scanning. Expect a mix of gorgonians, coral patches, and moving water rather than an easy flat reef.
Freediving
Not a natural freedive target; the wall drops quickly and the better experience is with scuba and solid depth control.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to very calm conditions and the shallow top of the wall. The main attraction sits below the surface.
