Koha më e mirë për të vizituar

Early morning offers calm seas and the best underwater visibility, dry season November to May gives consistently clearer water.

Këshilla për buxhetin

No single national park ticket covers all wrecks, expect operator fees: snorkeling trips cost about PHP 800-1,500, guided scuba dives about PHP 2,500-4,500 per half day; bring cash for small local environmental fees and opt for multi-dive or group bookings to save.

Rreth

Fakte të shpejta: A diver can drift through coral-cloaked hulls where beams of sunlight turn cargo holds into ghostly, photogenic chambers, while curious fish dart through broken portholes. More than a dozen steel wrecks lie in surprisingly shallow water, so snorkelers and photographers can get intimate shots of propellers, boilers, and lace-like rust patterns.

Pikat kryesore: Beneath glassy water, a 120-meter steel hull yawns open at around 30 meters depth, its cargo holds still strewn with rusted Mitsubishi truck frames and lacquered sake bottles, while sunlight through the gun emplacements makes suspended silt glow like slow snow. Local divers have a quirky tradition of slipping a tiny paper crane into the officer's cabin as a good-luck offering, and at dawn schools of trevally and a giant bumphead parrotfish patrol the wreck like noisy commuters.

Këshilla të brendshme

  • Wear a thin wetsuit or 3mm neoprene for warmth and protection during dives and long snorkels.
  • Use reef-safe sunscreen and avoid touching coral or entering ship interiors without a certified guide.
  • Ask your operator for morning slots to avoid the busiest boats and get the best light for photos.
  • Bring an underwater camera with a wide-angle lens and a strobe for interior wreck shots, low-light conditions require extra lighting.
