Philippines 2026

Join us in March 2026 for 10 nights in Puerto Galera, Philippines!

Puerto Galera is situated on the Verde Passage, widely recognised as one of the most bio-diverse bodies of water on the planet! It contains more varieties of fish than the Red Sea, and more varieties of hard and soft corals than the Great Barrier Reef!

The water temperature in Puerto Galera averages around 29°C throughout the year, and the visibility is excellent. Surrounded by beautiful reefs, thriving with marine life, Puerto Galera has an abundance of amazing dive sites, most of them within a few minutes boat ride of our resort! They’ve got wrecks, caves, muck dives, shallow coral fields, and drift dives. Although most of the dive sites are suitable for divers with an Open Water qualification, there is also plenty of opportunity for technical divers to explore the depths.

In any given day of diving you can find any of the below exciting marine life - and more!

• Flambouyant Cuttlefish
• Bluering Octopus
• Mandarin Fish
• Mantis Shrimp
• Mimic Octopus
• Pygmy Seahorse
• Frogfish

• Giant Tuna
• Barracuda
