A shallow Cabakungan cave site in Siquijor that suits confident freedivers or scuba divers, with clear-water windows, local-guided access, and seasonal planning around no-fishing restrictions.
About Cabakungan
Cabakungan is a rugged shallow cave site in Siquijor that feels more adventurous than its depth suggests. The attraction is the enclosed rock-and-water setting, where calm conditions, local guidance, and careful timing turn a short boat dive into a memorable overhead experience. It is best approached by confident divers who are comfortable in tight spaces and want a change from open-water reef dives. Local posts also point to clear water, turtle sightings, and soft-coral habitat, so the site offers a compact but distinctive Siquijor session rather than a long reef cruise.
