Practical

Approx: pin offset about 180 m east of the OSM Guyam Island point; no published site waypoint. Lakwatsero lists Guyam Island among Siargao's dive spots (with Blue Cathedral, Daku, Seeco Reef, Antokon and Shark Point) and says the waters are divable all year; operator contact given as Palaka Dive Center, +63 918 626 2303 (as published - verify). Guyam fees (Philippine Beach Guide, 2018): PHP 30 entrance, PHP 10 docking - verify locally. Shallow enough to wade at low tide near the island, so time dives and dinghy runs for mid-high tide. Inside the Siargao Islands Protected Landscapes and Seascapes - no touching coral, no anchoring on reef.
