Dive-site story
Located off the coast of Puerto Galera, Kilima Drift features a terraced reef profile where divers glide over successive shelves of hard and soft coral formations. The topography creates natural sheltering points along the slope, hosting dense reef fish communities alongside macro critters tucked into rock crevices. Tidal flow channels through the Verde Island Passage, propelling divers along the contour while pelagics patrol the open water adjacent to the wall.
Terraced slope structure forming natural steps lined with sea whips and massive barrel sponges
Dynamic drift conditions allowing effortless cruising along coral-encrusted shelves
High diversity of macro life hiding within coral crevices and overhangs
