Scuba Diving at Boracay


There are over fifteen dive spots around Boracay Island with eighteen plus dive operators..  Most of the dive spots are off White Beach and the rest are scattered around the North and Southeast points of Boracay.  The currents are moderate to strong.

The best dive spot is Yapak Dive which has two walls and a chimney at its southern end. Yapak goes from 30 meters to 70 meters deep.  Grey and Whitetip Reef Sharks are common here along with schools of barracuda, tuna, surgeonfish and many more.  Hammerheads and Mantarays have been spotted in this area too.  Great spot for the pros.

Start depth are mostly at 5 meters for the dives in front of White Beach.  The Beach Night Dive is 5 meters deep and close to White Beach.  Camia Dive’s start depth is 18 meters.  It is a wreck sank to be an artificial reef.  For beginners, Angol Point Dive is great starting point, with various types of coral and fishes.
