Dive-site story
Situated along the coastline of Puerto Galera facing the Verde Island Passage, Drop Off features a vertical wall covered in gorgonian seafans and soft corals. The wall plunges into deep water where strong currents funnel pelagic species and massive schools of fish past the reef edge. Divers drift along the face of the drop-off while inspecting crevices for macro critters sheltered from the open flow.
