💡 Tips

The best way to explore San Juan and Siquijor is by renting a scooter; the roads are generally good.
Cangmunag is a prime spot for diving; check out local centers for muck diving and reef exploration.
Most places in San Juan are cash-only; withdraw enough in Lazi or Siquijor town before heading here.
Be prepared to pay a small environmental fee when visiting certain beaches or dive sites.
Check the tides before diving or snorkeling, as the water can recede significantly at low tide.
