Canyons Reef
The Canyons
The most iconic drift dive site in Puerto Galera. Fish swarm through the canyon formations, and it is suitable only for advanced divers.
The Canyons lie off Escarceo Point, northeast of Sabang. The water depth is about 15 to 30 meters, and the site consists of a series of coral-covered canyons. Jackfish schools, sweetlips and sea turtles are common, and whitetip reef sharks are sometimes spotted. At the end of the dive you may see an old anchor. The current here is strong, and dives are usually conducted as drift dives. Advanced certification and some experience are required, and you must follow a local dive guide. Dive shops in Sabang can arrange bookings, and a single boat dive costs about 1,500 to 2,000 pesos.
