This is the largest but not the only
cave or crevice along this wall.
Look for nice coral growth along
the walls and schools of barracuda,
snapper and others in the blue
water off the wall.

Yapak can be an exhilarating deep
drift dive that is best done on a
rising tide. The site provides divers
the opportunity to see the larger
marine life of Boracay. This can be a
very colorful dive as the wall is full
of Gorgoniansea fans and soft
corals. The barrel sponges and
clouds of smaller fish are part of the
attraction as the current runs past
the terrain. The walls are deep and
there are actually two different dive
sites at Yapak. Yapak 1and 2 are
two separate
walls but both
begin at 100 ft
(30m) and drop
down past safe
sport diving
limits.
To see
whitetip and
blacktip sharks,
hammerheads
and even an
occasional
whale shark look off the walls into
the blue water. A smorgasbord of
pelagics, there are also yellowfin
and dogtooth tuna, jacks, wahoo,
blackbar barracuda, Spanish
mackerel and all of those current
loving blue water fish. Even mantas
have been seen passing by.
This is more for experienced divers
only who have had deep diving
training and practiced deep dives.
Punta Bongaalso offers good
pelagic action at shallower depths.47) Punta Bonga 1 & 2
