About this spot

The diving heart of Puerto Galera, inside a UNESCO Man and the Biosphere reserve on the Verde Island Passage. Dozens of dive shops run fun dives and PADI courses to reefs, wrecks and walls just minutes offshore, while non-divers snorkel nearby coves like Big La Laguna. After dark, Sabang has its own lively bar strip. Great for first-time divers wanting a course close to Manila.
