About this dive site
Southern Leyte whale shark encounters away from Oslob.
Padre Burgos and Pintuyan in Southern Leyte offer seasonal whale shark snorkels and dives with local guidelines that differ from the controversial Oslob feeding site. Pairs with Sogod Bay pelagics on the same trip.
Southern Leyte whale sharks are seasonal and guide-led; follow local distance rules — not the same as Oslob feeding tourism.
