Verde Island is the epicenter of marine shore fish biodiversity. It will soon be a UNESCO world heritage site because of this reason alone.

A good hour boat ride from small Lalaguna Puerto Galera South of Philippines will lead you to the seamount Verde Island Passage. You can see the first pinnacle jutting out of the waters on a good day. This open sea dive site has two other peaks at about 18 Meters down or 59 feet.



Diving Verde you need to be an Advanced Scuba Diver with at least 20 dives under your belt and a good assessment prior to the dive will be done by PADI pros in the resort to give you a clear for this epic dive. Worth all that as I say, because this is a dive site you do not want to miss out on.

To enter the Dive site you must do a negative buoyancy descent and but do not forget to equalize. You must remember to discontinue the dive with your buddy if by chance you are swept away by current and couldn’t descend with the others with you safety balloon inflated.

Because of wall about 70 meters deep this exemplary scuba diving site in the Philippines was compared to another famous scuba dive site, Tubbataha. You will be greeted with Gorgonians, Sea Fans, Barrel sponges as high as 1.5 Meters, schools of fishes like Anthias, Jacks, Emperor fishes, big tunas, Crescent Tail Wrasses, Tangs of different varieties Juvenile sea turtles.
