Tubod
Shore-accessible sanctuary reef with easy snorkeling and diving.
Shallow, sheltered reef in front of Coco Grove; best for calm-water sessions, buoyed entry, and easy reef life spotting.
About Tubod
Tubod is the marine sanctuary in front of Coco Grove Beach Resort on Siquijor's southwest coast, built around a shallow coral-and-seagrass reef that starts right off the beach. It is a relaxed, beginner-friendly spot for reef diving and snorkeling, with buoy-marked sanctuary boundaries, a sheltered entry zone, and marine life close enough to make slow, close-up exploration worthwhile. Plan Tubod for calm-water sessions and early starts. The site rewards an easy pace more than aggressive distance, and the best visits usually come when the sea is settled, the sanctuary is quiet, and the reef traffic has not yet picked up.
