Page 3 of 4 Coral Gardens  A favorite among the dive sites in Davao. It is also called “Linosutan,” perhaps owing much to the network of reefs found there where divers go “in and out” of (“lusot” in local dialect). But the name is most likely derived from the nearby barrio itself right in front the Talikud Island. Another one of the more convenient dive sites in Davao, it is relatively shallow and shows so much at a depth of 20 meters.
- There is an array of coral species, both hard and soft, lots of anemones with resident fishes and shrimps, anthias, damselfishes, fusiliers, butterflyfishes, tube worms, sea stars, and sponges.
Ligid Island - Ligid’s underwater sea life is what divers’ dreams are made of.On Ligid's west side, a night dive reveals hundreds of fine golden sea cucumbers densely littering the reef amid a rainbow of soft corals, hydroids and basket stars.
- Several meters down are two caves, one of which has three entrances that lead to a corridor. Both are inhabited by small reef fishes, black corals, soft corals and sponge crabs. Outside the caves, you may find several species of crabs, tunicates, scorpion and lionfishes, sleeping parrot and rabbit fishes, morays and razorfishes hovering vertically in a harp gorgonian.
- Pinnacle Point found at the southeastern tip of Big Ligid is a challenging dive for most divers due the strong current. Divers may encounter morays and an octopus hiding in a few of the many small holes.
