About this dive site

This dive site is located in Sabang Bay, Puerto Galera, within the Sea Grass area. It offers a shallow diving experience ranging from 3 to 8 meters deep. The area is renowned for its abundant marine life and provides an excellent habitat for juvenile creatures. You'll find numerous pipefish nestled amongst the sea grass, alongside sea moths, flying gurnards, flounder, pufferfish, dragonets, and juvenile cuttlefish. Keep a watchful eye around rocks and coral debris as this is where many miniature lionfish and scorpionfish reside. A few anemones host the aggressive saddleback anemonefish, accompanied by three-spot dascyllus. Large sea cucumbers and a substantial turtle also call this area home. For an added discovery, explore beneath floating bars – you might find more than just beer caps; it’s a breeding ground for further juveniles.
