The
diversity of hard and soft corals, along with hundreds of species
of tropical fish life makes Puerto Galera one of
the most popular dive destinations in the Philippines. The 5 km foreshore
of world class dive sites is a protected area and marine sanctuary.
Visibility varies from 10m/30ft to 30m/100ft, sometimes even better
depending on water temperature, current strength and wind direction.
The best diving conditions are usually from April to September, as
water temperature reaches 29 C, the seas are at their calmest and
visibility is at its clearest. In December, water temperature can
drop to as low as 22 C on the deeper dives due to thermo clines caused
by upwelling of clear, cooler water. However, conditions remain good
enough for year round diving.
