Canyons

Puerto Galera is a diver's and a tourist's paradise. Its deep, clear waters are tempting, and this location is a visual feast both above and below the waves. Canyons are the major draw due to the abundance of marine life and the variety of diving situations. It's designed for adrenaline enthusiasts, with a quick 40-meter (131-foot) fall. Nitrox is strongly advised for Canyons, and only experienced divers should attempt to explore it because of the difficult circumstances.

Things to see: It's hard to mention all of the species you'll find here. Turtles, thresher sharks, barracuda, octopuses, and tuna, as well as big schools of reef fish, should be avoided. This location contains barrel sponges, gorgonian fans, soft pink corals, and whip corals. Therefore, it is one of the best dive sites in the Philippines.
