Puerto Galera Diving
The abundance and beautiful diversity of marine life is immediately obvious when you poke your head underwater. The twenty-four dive sites of Puerto Galera form an incredible addition to the fantastic and unspoiled beauty of its shores and the mountains beyond. It is therefore not surprising that for almost 50 years Puerto Galera has attracted experts studying the ecostructure of micro-organisms, marine life, animals and plants. The University of the Philippines Marine Biological Station was set up in 1934 and in 1974, the UNESCO Man and Biosphere Program International declared the area a research center and the reefs a marine reserve. The great ecological complexity and the abundant species have earned Puerto Galera a reputation as the best dive area in the Philippines and maybe in Asia.
Due to the warm southwards flowing currents that bring clear water with temperatures of 28 to 30 degrees Celsius during the bigger part of the year the reefs of Puerto Galera have been able to perpetuate their mesmerizing existence through history. Only in the months of December to February, which are cool and usually dry, the water temperature drops to a still comfortable dive level of 24 degrees Celsius.
