Samal Island, also known as the Island Garden City of Samal, is a popular tourist destination located in the Davao Gulf, just off the coast of Davao City in the southern Philippines. The island is known for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and abundant marine life, making it a paradise for nature lovers, micro diving and beach enthusiasts. Hof Gorei Beach Resort itself is one of the most tranquil and special places to stay, usually only seen in pictures. A private resort that deliberately hosts only a small number of guests at a time to give everyone the perfect paradise experience.

Snorkling, Scuba and Micro Diving at Samal Island

Samal Island is also a great destination for snorkeling and scuba diving. The island’s crystal-clear waters are home to a diverse range of marine life, including colorful corals, tropical fish, and sea turtles. Some of the popular diving spots on the island include Coral Garden, Angel’s Cove, and Talikud Island.

Micro diving, also known as muck diving or critter diving, is a type of scuba diving that involves exploring the ocean floor in search of small, often elusive marine creatures. Unlike traditional reef diving, which focuses on larger animals such as sharks and rays, micro diving enthusiasts seek out tiny creatures such as nudibranchs, seahorses, and pipefish, which are often hidden in the sand or among rocks and coral.

For holiday bookers looking for a unique and exciting diving experience, micro diving can be a great option. While it may not have the same immediate wow-factor as swimming with larger marine animals, micro diving allows divers to see a wide variety of interesting and beautiful creatures that are often overlooked by other divers.

One of the best places in the world for micro diving is the Philippines, where the coral reefs are home to a huge variety of critters. Some of the most popular spots for micro diving in the Philippines include Coral Garden, Angel’s Cove, and Talikud Island all of which are known for their excellent macro life.
