Dive-site story
Virgin Drop is a steep reef wall running parallel to Boracay's coast. Divers descend onto a sloping plateau before drifting along vertical faces encrusted with large sea fans, sponges, and hard corals. Because of the shelf depth and open-water exposure, pelagic visitors occasionally pass along the drop-off.
