Whether you’re new to diving and want to see some fish in their natural habitat, or you’re a seasoned Subic wreck diver and want to take a break from square profiles, open water ascents, and all of the rust… We’ve got you! We have several reefs to dive on that offer mild slopes to shear walls. Settle in and enjoy a nice long relaxing dive with great topography and easy ascents.
Information: Located on the west side of Grande Island, Canyons is a popular reef to dive on. It’s great for DSD’s and Open Water Training since it starts by entering the water in about 5m over a sandy bottom. From there, cruise out to the edge of the wall and descend out in the open or through one of the many large crevices that let out near the bottom. One dive on this reef and you will see where it gets its name. Visibility is usually between 7-15m even at depth. All sorts of fish use this reef as home but also keep an eye out for treasure lost to the depths by the big tourist boats full of weekend swimmers.
Information: Located near the runway, 16ft Shoal is a lovely dive for DSD, Open Water, and up. It boasts a flat, 5-meter (16ft) shelf that extends approximately 100 by 200 meters before gently sloping down in all directions with cervices and small caves everywhere in the corals. There is an abundance of sea life on this site compared to other reefs in the area. Keep your eyes peeled for nudibranchs and octopuses.
Information: Located a short distance from the stern of the LST, this reef has many coral outcroppings and is known for turtle sightings both above and below the surface. It is thought to be a breeding ground for them. Besides turtles, the usual suspects are always hanging around making it yet another great spot for macro photography.
Information: Located in the back of the bay near the shipyard, Lighthouse reef is obviously named for the lighthouse sitting on the island of Parola (aka Mayanga). It has a large shallow reef with great coral outcroppings and then slopes off into the deep. This site is frequently used for open water training.
Information: As you look south from Barrio Barretto, you can’t help but notice White Castle Island. This tiny island has a man-made castle covering most of it, dating back a couple of decades. The reef that extends from is shallow enough to conduct DSD’s and Open Water training. Its proximity to the dive shop makes it an excellent choice for a quick afternoon dive.
Information: The reefs around Silangan Point offer a rocky topography with boulders gradually wearing their way into the bottom. They provide a great locations for marine life to hide in and around, each displaying different variety of species.
