Sawang is a coral-rich Siquijor reef with large boulders, a gentle sandy slope, and a small coral wall that rewards slow, close-up diving. It is known for hard and soft coral gardens, giant clams, and other reef life, making it a strong fit for divers who want texture and macro interest rather than big vertical relief. The site feels compact, colorful, and full of small details.
