Description
Diving holiday Puerto Galera Philippines 2025 Starting at 5m on a beautiful reef of stony hard coral and schooling small fish, antheas, butterfly fish and sergeant majors are all over! The reef slopes off to a sandy bottom (18m) and as you follow the contour of the reef, on a flood the current will help you drift into the channel. The dive site can also be done the opposite way on an ebbing tide. Small walls, covered in the famous "potato coral” are home to a few large groupers. The walls are also full of large purple gorgonian sea fans and green tree corals. If you leave the walls and venture out in the channel, you’ll find large barrel sponges and long whip corals, look close and you’ll find commensal shrimps living on them. The sandy bottom is also home to an abundance of fire urchins and mushroom corals, cuttlefish, including the flamboyant variety, lionfish and scorpionfish. There are also a couple of overhangs, where nudibranchs, mantis shrimp and often giant frogfish are found.
