Diving & Snorkeling Guide to Puerto Galera, Philippines

The wild coastline north of Puerto Galera, in northern Mindoro in the Philippines, is one of the most famous dive destinations in the world. It is an easy drive and fast boat ride from Manila and a world away from the bustle of the city. Above the water, expect tall cliffs, golden beaches, hidden resorts, excellent dive schools and talented guides. Under the sea, splendid coral reefs, rare marine life, teeming fish, and large pelagic creatures await you, as does the fabulous, lush Verde Island Marine Monument offshore.

In this book, authors Tim Rock and Simon Pridmore introduce you to Puerto Galera's dive and snorkeling sites and share all the practical information you need for a trip to this tropical paradise.

Please note that while this guide includes detailed descriptions of the pick of Puerto Galera's diving and snorkelling spots, and we include a homage to Puerto Galera's status as a world-leading destination for technical divers too, it does not cover the sites that are specifically for technical divers.
