Dive Spot Guide•
Kantoon
Camiguin reef-and-cliff dive with tunnels and rich marine life.
Local operator required
Boat routing and the tunnel/cliff mix make a local Camiguin operator the practical default.
Boat access, volcanic reef structure, and tunnel/cavern sections make Kantoon a guided Camiguin dive that suits clear-water days.
About Kantoon
Kantoon is a Camiguin reef-and-cliff dive with a shallow start, volcanic rock texture, and a route that opens into drop-offs and tunnel-like sections. The site is interesting because the terrain keeps changing, from reef patches to broken rock and cavern features, so it feels active without needing big depth. It works best as a boat dive with a local operator, especially when you want clear water, warm temperatures, and a relaxed Philippine reef profile.

Local Intel For Kantoon
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided boat dive; the geometry rewards steady buoyancy through the cliff and tunnel sections.
Freediving
Only the shallow reef edge is realistic for careful freediving, and the tunnel and cavern features are scuba-first.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling can work on the shallow reef edge in calm water, but the main features sit deeper.
