Verde Island

Dive Sites

Verde Island is one of the Philippines’ most spectacular diving destinations, located within the Verde Island Passage—widely recognized as the global centre of marine shorefish biodiversity.

Its dramatic drop-offs, colourful walls and current-swept reefs are covered with soft corals, sea fans and an extraordinary concentration of marine life. Divers can encounter huge schools of jacks, fusiliers, snappers, anthias and other reef fish, along with tuna, barracuda, turtles, reef sharks and occasional larger pelagic visitors.

Conditions can be exhilarating, with excellent visibility and currents that bring the reef to life. Some sites are best suited to experienced divers, although the exact dive location is always selected according to conditions and the experience of the group.

LLV Divers reaches Verde Island in approximately 20 minutes aboard our high-speed dive boats. We operate regular three-dive trips in small groups, typically including a beach BBQ, professional guides, full valet diving service and complete safety equipment. A day at Verde Island is an unforgettable highlight of any Puerto Galera dive holiday.
