Dive-site story
Shark's Cave is a distinct rocky overhang situated along the slopes off Puerto Galera. Whitetip reef sharks regularly tuck into the sheltered shelf to rest on the sandy floor away from the surrounding currents. The approach takes divers across sloping reef topography adorned with sea fans, soft corals, and sponges before arriving at the opening of the cavern.
