About us
South Point Divers is located at the southwest corner of Sarangani Bay in the province of Sarangani. The bay has a wealth of good diving and the best location is the huge Tinoto Wall. This runs about 10 kilometers along the bay in front of the South Point Divers clubhouse. The wall drops off well over 50 meters about 10 to 20 meters from shore. The fishing vessels tell us there is a short ledge in the wall then it continues to drop down to 300 meters or more, well beyond diving limits, so please watch your depth.
As mentioned, diving right from the bottom of the stairs is already an experience. Accessible from the house reef is the "Abyss". This is a canyon that just goes all the way down. You can swim over it or around it but to fully experience it you have to follow it down deep.
The "SandBar" is one of the most beautiful snorkeling areas around. Lots of colorful reef fish with a background of soft corals. Drift further down and it one of the most beautiful dives as well. In a current, all the fish come out to play. As you can imagine this is an advanced dive of sorts.
On the other side of the house reef is "Rocky Beach". If you want to keep it shallow all the colorful reef fish will keep you company amid all the hard corals. Drift down the wall and it is still part of the awesome Tinoto Wall and will not disappoint.
A boat ride away will bring you to underwater pinnacles like Takot Maasim, Takot Malbang and Kamanga Reef. With tops ranging from 35 to 55 feet, these dives are just a 45 minute boat ride away and have produced the most sightings of pelagics and rays.
Currents at times can be strong, especially during changes in tides. Experienced guides and boatmen are available on every dive. Drift diving here is the norm.
Depending on the location of your dive, you will find a wide variety of hard and soft coral, huge gorgonians, sponges and an endless array of reef life. Pelagics are also a common site. More specifically, you can expect to see turtles, rays, rainbow runners, groupers, snappers and patrols of sergeant majors. The majestic Napoleon Wrasse is also frequently seen on the house reef.
As always the reef critters are around to keep you company. The clown fish, angel fish, parrot fish and many shell fish.
The awesome Tinoto Wall is right in our front yard. Come play with us.
