Dive-site story
Located between the mainland of Puerto Galera and Medio Island, Batangas Channel features a sloping reef interspersed with sand patches and scattered coral bommies. Water movement through this natural passage supplies nutrients that support vibrant soft coral growth and dense congregations of reef creatures. Divers typically drift along the slope while keeping an eye out for macro life camouflaged in rubble and sponge clusters.
Gentle to swift drift diving along a flourishing coral slope
Frequent macro sightings including diverse nudibranchs and frogfish
Healthy clusters of anemones housing multiple anemonefish species
Sheltered conditions suitable for underwater photography during slack tide
