This dive site, known as Canyons, is a premier destination for experienced divers in the Philippines, featuring three distinct underwater canyons running parallel. These canyons are characterized by their sheltering walls and sandy bottoms, providing divers with unique vantage points to observe the dynamic marine life. While the site is famous for its "fast and furious" currents, the canyons themselves offer pockets of calmer water for observation.
The strong currents at Canyons attract a diverse array of large pelagic fish, often seen schooling or actively hunting above the canyon structures. While specific species aren't listed, it's common to encounter various reef fish, jacks, tuna, barracuda, and potentially reef sharks drawn to the nutrient-rich currents. The canyon walls and sandy areas also host smaller reef inhabitants and diverse corals.
The best time to visit Canyons typically aligns with periods of good weather and stable currents, though conditions can change rapidly. Divers should be well-prepared for strong drift diving conditions and have experience in current management to fully enjoy this thrilling dive. It is not suitable for snorkelers or beginner freedivers due to its challenging nature.
