About This Dive Site
Aqua-Venture names Saimsim in its Anilao dive-site list, separately from Secret Bay and Heidi’s Point. REEF also maintains a Saimsim survey-location record. This partial guide preserves that named-site evidence without borrowing conditions or wildlife claims from neighboring sites.
Saimsim is represented as one operator-named dive site. A matching survey name supports historical diving use, not a surveyed navigation point, current access or a recent sighting. Its exact boundaries have not been established.
Location unresolved: The exact dive-site position has not been established for this partial guide. It has no map marker or navigation point.
Depth, current strength, visibility, seasonal conditions, entry arrangements and diver suitability remain unknown in this partial guide. Confirm the intended site and current access with a local operator before planning a dive. No local-diver verification has been recorded.
Operator table entry
Aqua-Venture's dive-site table, in a Wayback snapshot of January 2026, lists Saimsim at 20 m with slight current, a sandy bottom as the attraction and macro lenses. The same page says dive sites are usually 10 to 25 minutes away from most resorts and that there are nearly 100 popular locations, with even more known to its local guides. The 20 m figure is a single table value rather than a surveyed range, and the current rating is the operator's general label.
Survey record
REEF's report for its survey site Saimsim, retrieved in October 2026, counts two surveys and 69 species reported, both by expert surveyors; fish recorded on both surveys include the blackfin sandperch, blackstripe dottyback, canary wrasse, Cavite cardinalfish, crescent wrasse, fivefinger razorfish and furtive goby. Two surveys and one table row do not establish a position, visibility or seasonal conditions. No further independent description of Saimsim was found in the operator, forum and magazine sources checked for this guide.
