Diving Guide to the Philippines 2015

bobtail squid and pygmy cuttlefish.
Most of the diving around the
corals and sandy areas is in the 30
to 60 foot range. The sand is both
deep and shallow.
Take a good guide as the oddities
like devil scorpionfish (Inimicus),
harlequin and robust ghost pipefish,
twin eye goby, double-spot lionfish,
flasher scorpionfish, blue ringed
octopus and Spanish dancers (you
can often see the egg ribbons) are
all found here.

70. Pura Vida House Reef
    Icons:
    Location: Pura Vida Beach
    Depth: 15-80ft. (4-24m)

This site is located just in front of
the popular dive resort Pura Vida.
Local guides say what used to be an
underwater “Sahara” is now a small
oasis for marine life. This area is

now an artificial

reef consisting of

several wrecks,

interesting concrete

blocks and a steel

pyramid. It has

attracted many of

the usual suspects

like lionfish,

seahorses, blue-

spot stingrays,

snapper schools

and juvenile

batfish. This is an

easy walk-in so the site is quite

suitable for night diving.
