Puerto Galera focuses on diving in the Coral Triangle with a variety of dives from shallow coral gardens to deep walls and small wrecks. Dives are conducted in a UNESCO- designated biosphere offering incredible marine biodiversity.  Expect relaxed critter diving, think pygmy seahorses, octopus and nudibranchs but don’t count out larger species either!

Dumaguete features black volcanic sand dives, also known as ‘muck dives. These are rich with macro species and the aliens of the oceans. The area is known as the frogfish capital of the world and is a world class destination for macro diving- so bring macro camera lenses!

Other dives include rich coral reef environments and world-famous Apo Island which is a marine reserve famous for its vibrant reef life and abundance of turtles. It is a short 30-minute boat ride away from the resort.
