Sabang Wrecks
Sabang Wrecks consists of 3 separate wrecks; 2 wooden skeletons, and 1 steel hull yacht. Sabang Wrecks has a max depth of 21m and is an amazing experience for people diving in Puerto Galera for the first time. Expect to be greeted by schools of inquisitive batfish when you descend down to the first wreck at 11m! All three of the wrecks on this site are positively teeming with every variety of marine life imaginable, and also make for excellent night dives, when the nocturnal creatures come out to feed.
The Alma Jane
The Alma Jane is a 30m long, 10m high cargo freighter that was sunk to provide an artificial reef. A superb site for diving with nitrox, and also experiencing wreck penetration without being in a completely overhead environment. The Alma Jane is home to large groups of lionfish and any number of fascinating creatures such as frogfish and scorpionfish concealing themselves in the superstructure. Large groupers can also be found lurking around the bottom of the wreck,at it’s maximum depth of 30m.
Kilima Drift
A fast-paced hardcore drift dive for experienced divers. Experience the exhiliration of feeling like you are flying underwater as the strong current carries you in a south-north direction to a maximum depth of 30m. Siphon sponges, gorgonians, giant tuna, Spanish mackerel, shoals of jacks, barracuda and rainbow runners can be seen.
MONKEY BEACH, DUGON WALL AND WEST ESCARCEO
These three dive sites are part of one continuous coral garden. A great variety of marine species are found among the many different and very colorful corals. Divers will want to return to these areas again and again. Many opportunities for photographers.
Depths range from 5-25 meters.
Deep West Escarceo
The Deep West Escarcio site is often made as a multilevel dive: 10 minutes at 35 meters, 10 minutes at 20 meters, 10 minutes at 12 meters, and a swimming stop (5 minutes at 3-5 meters). An enjoyable and challenging dive with opportunities for seeing turtles, and even whitetip reef sharks.
Shark Cave
Shark Cave actually consists of two overhangs at a depth of 27-30m. A regular hidey-hole for our resident white-tipped reef sharks as well as blue spotted stingrays.
The dive can be combined with “The Atoll”, a huge rock formation at a depth of 15-32 meters surrounded by a great variety of marine life.
Canyons
Canyons is a large area consisting of 3 canyons that bottom out a maximum depth of approximately 32m. A popular dive site for Advanced Divers, often with strong currents. These currents attract large shoals of tuna, barracuda, jackfish etc.
Fish Bowl
For Advanced divers only, this dive requires a blue water descent to the top of the Fish Bowl in 35-40 meters (130 ft).
This is a bowl-shaped depression with just about everything – in quantity. The main reason for this dive however, is to see bigger fish and shoals. Sharks, occasionally Hammerheads, large Tuna, Barracuda, Jacks and groupers are common. Looking out into blue water tuna and jacks are commonly seen playing in the current. After a few minutes in the bowl, you will be swimming up the contour of the reef to the Canyons.
Verde Island
Scandi Divers Resort offers day trips to the magnificent Verde Island dive site, widely considered the ‘must see’ dive site in Puerto Galera. The Verde Island site is very deep and suitable for technical divers, but can also be dived by recreational divers qualified to 30m.
Expect crystal clear waters, often with visibility of 30m+ and an abundance of marine life of every variety. A once in a lifetime experience, but often with strong up and down currents, so it is only recommended for more experienced divers. Our Verde Island day trip usually consists of 2-3 dives with a delicious barbecue lunch prepared for you on the beach!
