About this site
Cathedral Tower is a dive site at Turtle Island, off the Sipalay coast of Negros Occidental in the Philippines. The dive leads through a gorge dominated by a huge coral tower, which gives the site its name.
Depths run from about 5 to 40 metres. At around 5 metres there is a cave in the rock that can be explored.
Divers have reported frogfish, seagrass ghost pipefish, cutlassfish, swingfish and Napoleon wrasse here.
