About this site
Paliton Wall is one of the most famous dive sites on Siquijor, running from 5 to 35 metres. The dive begins over a gently sloping coral reef before reaching a wall.
The top of the wall is rich in small fish and hard coral, and soft corals, sea fans and gorgonians grow all over the wall. At 33 metres, at the start of the dive, an advanced diver can enter a small cave, with spider crabs at its entrance. It is the best place on the island to find nudibranchs and flatworms, and the top of the wall is a good spot for a long safety stop. Turtles, moray eels and scorpionfish also turn up.
