DIVE SITES Puerto Galera - the Pearl of Mindoro - is famous for its many excellent beaches, coral reefs and exquisite dive sites with something extraordinary to offer to both the experienced as well as first-time divers. The marine life is wonderful with more than 3,000 species of fish and marine animals. In the waters you can see sharks, rays, moray eels, octopuses, and sea snakes, along with numerous different species of fish such as clownfish, groupers, surgeonfish, parrot fish, sweetlips, tuna etc. There are shallow coral reef gardens, easily accessible, and an excellent experience for snorkellers and underwater photographers. Because of the tropical climate with average daytime temperatures of 27-33 degrees Celsius, diving is possible all year round. Puerto Galera has some 30+ dive sites, and most of them can be reached by boat within 10-15 minutes. The great variety in dive sites make certain that divers with all levels of experience can have a magnificent and challenging underwater adventure. The following are a few of the exciting dive sites around Puerto Galera. Note that there are more than 30 dive sites to be explored, so the list should only be considered as an appetizer. Verde Island (depth 5 to 60 meters) This wonderful island is located in the middle of the channel between Luzon and Mindoro. There are many beautiful dive sites around the island. You will find beautiful walls with hard and soft corals, sponges and a rich diversity of fish. Coral Garden (depth 3 to 10 meters) Coral Garden is situated off Long Beach. It is a beautiful dive site with large formations of hard corals along with basket sponges and colorful soft corals. A fantastic site for underwater photography with a high variety of small fish. Hole in the Wall (depth 12 to 19 mtrs.) Drop into 9m of well-lit water, with fields of table corals as good as anywhere in the world. The hole is about 1.5m high and 0.8m wide, covered with multi-colored sponges and crinoids, leading to the Canyons. The area teems with small reef fish, angelfish and butterflyfish. There are male Titan Triggerfish guarding eggs in nests, shoals of parrotfish, pennantfish, moorish idols, snappers, lionfish and several others. The Canyons (depth 29 to 60 meters) An advanced dive that needs a good dive guide to allow for the currents to get you swept into position. Drift past the hole in the wall and race over several small dop-offs covered in soft corrals and sponges. There are a couple of smaller canyons where photographers can briefly shelter; moray eels have been found here. The main reason for the dive is to see the teeming fish life -- just about everything, including Six-banded angelfish, royal and emperor angelfish. There are some large barrel sponges and gorgonian sea fans in the deeper water. Shark Caves (depth 25 to 30 meters) The Shark Caves are located east of Escarceo Point. In the first cave at 25m you can find white tip reef sharks resting during daytime. Further down is a second smaller cave where spotted sweet lips and blue spotted rays can be found. Manila Channel (depth 5 to 18 meters) The Manila Channel is the channel between Medio and Paniquian Islands. The dive begins in shallow water on a beautiful reef with hard and soft corals and hundreds of small fish. Then you drift into the channel with the flood tide of Verde Passage. The Hills (depth 5 to 15 meters) The Hills are located at the southeast end of the channel between Medio Island and Coco Beach. This site is small and very well protected, and it is made up of rocky corals, fans, sponges and many different kinds of hard and soft corals. This is a really good site for macro photography. Lalaguna Point (depth 3 to 18 meters) Located close to the white beach of Big Lalaguna. A very nice reef with plate and stag horn corals living in harmony with many species of small fish. Sole fish and stargazers can be seen during night dives. Sabang Wrecks (depth 18 meters) On a sandy bottom lay the wooden hull of a Vietnamese fishing boat which is covered with aquatic life. You will find yourself surrounded by damsel fish and bigger fish like bat and surgeon fish. Close to the wreck is a steel hull of a 12m sail boat that was submerged by a dive shop to create a new wreck site. Both wrecks are great for night dives. Sinandigan Wall (depth 10 to 30 meters) Located at the southern edge of Escarceo Point. This is a real wall going down to 30 meters with all kinds of corals and at least seven different varieties of nudibranches as well as plenty of larger fish. It is a perfect place for multi-level diving. Talipanan Reef (depth 15 to 80 meters) Talipanan Reef is located a 25 minutes boat trip west of Puerto Galera. Here you can discover a pinnacle starting at 15m with a large variety of hard and soft corals and small fish. It drops of to over 80m and different sharks can often be observed during deeper dives.
