About Turtle Rock
Turtle Rock is a wall-to-slope dive on the Padre Burgos side of Sogod Bay, with the route turning from the wall onto sandy ground and a cluster of large boulders. It suits divers who want a clear, easy-to-read profile, steady reef structure, and a good chance of turtles plus occasional larger visitors. Slow down for the turn onto sand and work the rock section carefully.
