Dive-site story
Located just off Sabang Beach, Dry Dock is an artificial reef formed by a sunken steel structure resting on an open sandy slope. Encrusted with sponges, tunicates, and feathery hydroids, the metal framework creates shelter in an otherwise barren expanse. Divers often explore the perimeter of the wreck before inspecting the interior crevices for camouflaged macro critters and schooling fish hovering beneath the overhead beams.
