Dive-site story
Situated along a sheltered bay near Puerto Galera, Shipyard is primarily a muck and artificial-structure dive site. The seabed consists of sand, silt, and scattered wreckage from local boat repairs, including abandoned wooden hulls and discarded metal gear. Macro photographers explore the debris field to search for camouflaged critters that shelter beneath the decaying timbers and mooring ropes.
