Diving Guide to the Philippines 2015

in front of Pura Vida Cabilao Resort
and Spa dive center and goes from
35 ft. (10m) down to very deep. In
some of the many caves there are
baby whitetip sharks and at 100 ft.
(30m), there is a large cave that
divers can enter. A
light is needed to
see the inner walls
properly. A gentle
slope on the east
side of the wall is
rich with reef fish
and quite often
has turtles. There
is also great night
diving in the area
with stargazers,


occasional wonderpus and many
different crabs and shrimps.

Location: N. of Anda Town
Depth: 30-140ft. (9-42m)

This is an excellent wall with
overhangs and caves and very lush
coral growth. The wall drops past
safe sport diving depths into the
blue abyss.
The dive site is located at a
“corner” where some currents
occur. It has spectacular formations
of old growth hard corals at shallow
depths that have been growing here
undisturbed for centuries. One can
see the competition for space and
light here. The dive is also home to
an abundance of fish. Along the reef
schools of mackerel and many other
fish patrol. Down about 70 ft. (21m)
some small caves hold resting
whitetip reef sharks.
