About this dive site

This dive site, Caceres North, offers a delightful drift experience, starting at the reef top and allowing divers to gently glide with the current from the north. The highlight of the site is its vibrant and healthy coral garden, predominantly found between 8 and 15 meters, making it an accessible and enjoyable dive for many skill levels.

The marine life here is abundant and diverse, featuring an array of colourful reef fish, from schooling fusiliers to camouflaged frogfish. Deeper areas, around 30 meters (though beyond the main recreational depth for this site), are notable for sightings of elusive pygmy seahorses dwelling in the seafans. The healthy coral formations provide a rich habitat for various smaller creatures.

While no specific best time to visit is provided, the site's gentle current and shallow, vibrant coral garden make it ideal for relaxed exploration throughout the typical diving season in the Philippines. It is particularly well-suited for macro photographers due to the presence of pygmy seahorses and frogfish, and its accessibility also makes it suitable for snorkelers and freedivers.
