Dive-site story
Situated just north of Boracay, Carabao Island offers dramatic underwater topography characterized by steep drop-offs, cavernous swim-throughs, and expansive coral plateaus. The offshore reefs receive nutrient-rich currents that sustain healthy soft coral gardens, sea fans, and schools of pelagic fish patrolling the outer walls.
Steep coral-covered walls dropping off into deep blue water
Caverns and swim-throughs carved into the island's limestone base
Regular encounters with schooling pelagics and reef sharks
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
The dry season brings calmer seas and optimal visibility along the coastal walls.
