The Coral Triangle has 600 species of corals, 1,200 species of finfishes, 700 species of algae, 33 species of mangrove, five out of seven known species of sea turtles, and at least 24 species of crustaceans.
And diving in Puerto Galera, you'll see more than half of that highly diverse marine life in the Coral Triangle. And every divesite has a story of its own.
Puerto Galera has more varieties of fish than the whole Red Sea, and more varieties of soft and hard corals than the Great Barrier Reef.
Puerto Galera is also one of the main Technical Diving destinations in Asia
Current can be very strong up to 6 knots which makes some of the sites a spectacular ride alive with fish life.
So diving with a professional Divemaster or Instructor who knows the area and the currents is very important. The passage is very deep, so clear water is very common to the dive sites of Puerto Galera along with a fantastic variety of large and small aquatic creatures.
The visibility varies from 10m/30ft up to 30m/100ft and sometimes even better depending on the water temperature, current strength and wind direction. Puerto Galera can be dived all year round with water temperatures of up to 29 degrees Celcius, calm seas and good visibility.
The water temperature can get as low as 22 degrees around December on the deeper dives and the area does have a lot of thermoclines with clear cool water due to the deep channel and strong currents. Depending on the wind direction and sea conditions there are always areas which are sheltered to dive.
The big difference between high and low tide gives great opportunities for some serious drift dives.
Most of the dive sites are within a few minutes boat ride from the dive center. There are sites for all levels of training from the beginner, advanced experience diver and the deeper sites for Technical and Trimix Divers.
