Dive-site story
Kilima Steps features a series of terraced coral ledges that stair-step down the coastal reef slope off Puerto Galera. Hard coral formations and soft coral gardens carpet each shelf, sheltering macro critters and small reef fish. Because it sits along the coast, tidal flow can turn this into a relaxed drift across the stepped formations.
