West Point

What the sources describe

Marine Conservation Philippines gives West Point its own entry in its Siquijor dive-site guide. The account describes a wall in the northern section, changing into more sloping terrain toward the south, with sandy ledges and small cavities along the wall.

Planning a visit

The source warns that currents may be strong and says the dive direction depends on conditions. Confirm the exact reef and route with a Siquijor operator before arranging a dive. This guide does not provide instructions for entering cavities or treating them as suitable overhead routes. The generic name West Point is also used for unrelated sites elsewhere.

What remains unknown

This English partial is based on published sources, not a recent Diveity inspection. Exact navigation coordinates, independently checked depth limits, visibility, water temperature, seasonal suitability and certification requirements remain unverified. Wildlife sightings and current access are not guaranteed.

Ledges and reported grouper habitat

Marine Conservation Philippines places sandy ledges around 20–25 m and reports groupers in small cavities along West Point’s wall. The depth refers to those ledges, not the deepest extent of the reef. The fish account is undated and does not establish current residency; the cavities are not presented as an entry route.

Reading the current and the wall

Marine Conservation Philippines, whose page was last modified in April 2026, says divers will "want to assess the current at this dive site" and choose the direction accordingly, and that while currents can be strong "it's an exhilarating dive to be washed along the wall". It identifies the groupers in the small caves as orange-spotted groupers (Epinephelus coioides), says that "while the wall is deep, there really isn't much to see below 25 meters", and adds that because the site is so shallow it "also offers good opportunities for snorkeling". Those remarks describe that organisation's own dives, not a guarantee of manageable current or a snorkelling recommendation for any given day.

A second, briefer mention

Liveaboard.com's Siquijor page says most dive safaris visit "the island's northwest corner, where multiple dive sites offer coral-covered walls", and that "nearby Tonga Point and West Point also offer sheer walls to drift along and the chance to see a variety of reef life, including Napoleon Wrasse and Bumphead Parrotfish if you are lucky"; it places the Tubod marine sanctuary "just south of Paliton, Tonga, and West Points". Those sightings are the aggregator's possibilities, not records. PADI's dive-site page titled West Point describes a Curacao site and is not evidence for Siquijor. No operator page or dated trip report naming this West Point was found, so depth range, visibility, temperature and season remain unpublished here.
