Diving Puerta Galera

[deantorgersen]

Hi Everyone:

I will be diving at El Galleon Dive Resort in Puerta Galera Phillipines in Feb-March. I have never dove there before. I have dove in Cebu and Mindanao Phillipines. Does anyone have any advice, recommendations, suggestions ect............? Thanks

I would recommend Shark Cave (if you want to see a reef shark), The Canyons, The Fish Bowl, and Hole in the Wall. All great dive sites.

There are tons of great dives there. You will have a ball and the dive shop is very competent, so you are in good hands. Shark cave is great for white tip sharks, Canyons is argyuably the best dive there (lots of current and pelagics), Hole in the wall, fish bowl great. Sinandigan Wall is great for Nudibranches and the chances of seing a resident thresher shark, The Alma Jane Wreck in 100' is a great safe wreck dive, Sabang wrecks is great for macro and especially night dives, West escaceo to sabang reef, nice reef with lots of stuff, Dry docks a deep wreck with some big pelagics (snappers, etc...)... They are all great and I'm sure the dive Op will take you to most of them!

If you get the chance, hop on a charter (or the dive op if they do it) and get out to Verde Island wall! It's a 1 hour boat ride and costs extra, but in my oppinion the best dive out there (at least my favorite). It's thick with reef fish like pea soup! Definetly worth it in my oppinion!

With el galeon/ Asia divers, you are in good hands...

Have a great time!:coffee:
