Drift diving along the coast line of long beach on a sunny day really makes it easy to see why this corner of Puerto Galera is such a fabulous success with all visiting divers. There are so many fantastic subjects for photography here, so much life and such vivid and vibrant colour that this dive really is quite unforgettable. The shallow depth and great visibility often make for excellent wide angle photography at this site.

The coral heads are often spaced quite far apart in places and there are some very interesting hiding places for fish and turtles to hang out in. There are several small openings in the reef where beautiful photos of hard corals against blue water can be taken and I often find myself spending a lot longer on the bottom at this dive site than many of the others. Nice relaxing dive with thousands of photo opportunities. A great example of Philippines reef eco systems.

Keep an eye out for a hard coral species that is totally unique to Puerto Galera, Anacropora puertogalerae. Make sure you also visit this dive spot during November when the corals are spawning; usually around or during the full moon, which is a spectacular night dive.
