About Sulpa Island
Sulpa Island is a current-swept wall dive off Marigondon, best treated as a shallow-topped reef that rolls quickly into open water. The site is strongest when the dive is planned around the wall and the current, with coral on the upper section and bigger fish action along the drop-off. Small reef fish and macro life fill the shallower ledges, while the deeper wall draws the more dramatic pelagic action when conditions line up.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A wall dive that quickly transitions from shallow coral areas to depths beyond 40 m.
Freediving
Experienced freedivers may use the shallow top of the reef on calm-current days, but the wall and stronger water movement make this a scuba-first site.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is best limited to the shallow top and calmer days; the wall and stronger current make it better for divers than casual swimmers.
