Dive-site story
Located off the northwest coast of Boracay Island, Balinghai features two distinct parallel reef walls divided by a sandy channel. Divers navigate over coral-encrusted bommies and gentle slopes that give way to deeper coral formations. The site is sheltered from the prevailing northeast monsoon winds, making it a reliable spot during the dry season for both macro photographers and casual reef explorers.
