About This Dive Site

Boulders is a unique dive site with dramatic rock formations. At the surface, you face a vertical stone wall and a few large boulders breaking the surface. As you descend underwater, down the slope, the site is covered with different shaped and sized boulders that look like they have rolled from the cliff and have come to rest on the slope, creating swim-throughs and caves and lots of hiding places for marine life.

This unusual dive site doesn't sport much of the lush vegetation and colorful corals seen at other dive sites in Puerto Galera. Instead, you'll be treated to dramatic rock formations, black coral formations, schools of Snappers hovering over the reef, lots of Nudibranchs, and often Ribbon Eels and Cuttlefish.

The site is home to various marine life including:

  • Thorny Seahorses
  • Ribbon Eels
  • Schools of Snappers
  • Nudibranchs (various species)
  • Cuttlefish
  • Black Coral Formations
  • Crustaceans in rock crevices

This is where we find the Thorny Seahorse, the one that doesn't need a magnifying glass to be seen unlike its pygmy counterpart. They reside in 28-30m, unfortunately hiding in the rubble, but a good dive guide will find them for you.

Dive Tip: Bring your torch to light up the overhangs under the rocks to discover hidden marine life. This site is best dived on flood tide when there is no current as the area has a lot of silt sediment. It is a good site for wide-angle macro photography when the visibility is good.
