This dive site is known for the Aquaventure Ship Wreck, located opposite the Aquaventure Reef Club in Anilao, Philippines. Divers can navigate using a blue buoy marking the main wreck and a white buoy for other features. The site features not only the main ship wreck but also an SUV and an old helicopter wreck, creating a diverse underwater landscape. While one reference states the main wreck sits at 35 meters, the site's maximum recreational depth is 22 meters, making it accessible for a range of divers. The staff at Aquaventure are noted for their helpfulness, ensuring a smooth diving experience.
The wrecks serve as vibrant artificial reefs, teeming with a huge amount of fish, including hundreds of small fish and impressive Batfish. Larger marine life such as big groupers and turtles are also frequently sighted. To the right of the resort (for shore entry) or left (for boat entry), there is a good natural reef supporting additional biodiversity.
The best time to visit this dive site for optimal conditions is generally during the dry season from November to May, offering clearer waters and calm seas. This site is excellent for both scuba divers and freedivers, with its accessible depths and varied attractions. Divers should plan to explore all three wrecks and the adjacent reef, ensuring they follow the buoys for easy navigation. Aquaventure Reef Club's helpful staff can provide further local insights and support for a memorable dive.
