About Paliton Wall
Paliton Wall is a signature Siquijor wall dive with coral gardens along the drop-off, soft corals and gorgonians on the wall, and plenty of ledges, holes, and other structure for slow macro scanning. It is the kind of site where depth awareness matters, because the reef face opens quickly and the interesting part of the dive rewards a measured pace rather than a fast swim.
