Peter’s Dive Resort is in Lungsodaan near Padre Burgos on Sogod Bay. The bay is one of Southern Leyte’s most interesting dive regions, with reefs, walls, protected areas, small islands and a calmer rhythm than many better-known Philippine spots.
Whale sharks in Sogod Bay
Sogod Bay is not a fed show site, but a natural whale shark area with seasonal chances. Peter’s Dive Resort is well placed for this; the main period runs roughly from mid-November to early May. Several days in this window create a much better setup than a single attempt.
The important detail is the type of encounter: whale sharks are usually searched for while snorkelling or at the surface, not on a classic scuba dive. With luck it can still become one of the strongest ocean moments of the trip, just not at depth and not as a scheduled shark dive.
Diving around Padre Burgos
The regular diving remains attractive even without whale sharks. Around Padre Burgos and Sogod Bay there are walls, reefs, macro sites, night dives and relaxed day trips. Peter’s suits divers who want solid Philippine diving with a realistic whale shark season.
