About this site
Lutoban is a boat dive off the Lutoban barangay in Zamboanguita, in the south of Negros Oriental in the Philippines. It is a deeper dive than the nearby Siit Cliff, and visibility gets better as you go deeper.
The site has turtles, nudibranchs, mushroom coral pipefish, baby walking sea cucumbers, porcelain crabs and squat shrimps. Typhoon Odette in December 2021 damaged some of the corals, and the shallower parts took the most damage.
