Beachfront house reef with macro life on the Dauin coast
Dauin North is a beachfront house-reef and muck site on the Dauin coast, built for slow exploring rather than fast current work. It gives you a shallow entry, good macro life, and the kind of easy resort logistics that let you stay underwater as long as the conditions hold. For travelers who like critter hunting, it is one of the most useful stops on the Dauin shoreline.

Key Hazards

Watch buoyancy over the sand, keep an eye on visibility when the weather turns, and stay close to the reef line when the current shifts.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a slow, photographer-friendly house reef with a shallow entry and lots of small subjects to work through carefully.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site. The appeal is slow scuba and shallow reef searching rather than breath-hold exploration.
Snorkeling
The beachfront house reef is shallow enough for casual snorkeling on calm days.
