How it began to become Leyte Dive Resort, which was formerly known as Southern Leyte Cottages. During a lengthy period of service, we noticed we needed additional services such as, Scuba Diving, which is very popular in the region.

Leyte Dive Resort Scuba Diving is located in the central part of Sogod Bay, and is perfect for small groups of people looking for privacy and intimacy.

Here you will find nudibranchs, seahorse, mimic octopus, and other strange creatures. Read More: http://www.leytedive.com/#
