Daku Arch
Daku Arch: Siargao swim-through dive with reef life.
Boat access beside Daku Island, with coral-rock swim-throughs and a sandy slope beyond the arch.
About Daku Arch
Daku Arch is a boat dive beside Daku Island in Siargao, built around a coral-rock arch with swim-through passages and a sandy slope beyond. It is best on calm bay-side days when the water is settled enough to keep the arch comfortable, but the narrower passage still rewards slow pacing, good buoyancy, and a guide who knows the line around the rock faces.

Capable freedivers can enjoy the arch, but the swim-throughs still reward a relaxed pace and precise trim.
