Dive-site story
Located off the Dauin coastline in Negros Oriental, Cars is an artificial reef featuring several scuttled automobile chassis resting on a dark volcanic sand slope. Over decades submerged, the metal frames have transformed into dense coral structures hosting diverse critter life. Divers typically descend down the sandy incline to inspect the vehicle hulls and surrounding debris before drifting along adjacent reef patches.
