Dive-site story
Hole in the Wall is an iconic dive site located off Escarceo Point in Puerto Galera. The main feature is a natural rock archway cut into a narrow reef crest, encrusted with gorgonian fans, sponges, and crinoids. Divers typically drift along the sloping coral reef before navigating the single-file swim-through, emerging on the opposite side to schools of reef fish and occasional passing pelagics.
Natural rock swim-through covered in soft corals and hydroids
Frequent schools of sweetlips, batfish, and jacks hanging in the current
Macro subjects including nudibranchs, scorpionfish, and banded sea kraits sheltering in reef crevices
