San Miguel is a macro-focused Dauin site where a shallow sandy start and seagrass fringe give way to a low coral-and-muck slope. The dive rewards slow searching rather than covering distance, with frogfish, nudibranchs, seahorses, octopus, shrimp, and other small subjects tucked into the sand and coral edges. It works well as a relaxed day dive or a guided night search for critters.
