Diveity's dive site atlas spans 582 dive sites across 17 countries, from shallow shore entries to deep wrecks and drift dives. Guides bring together available information on dive sites, marine life and nearby operators. Some guides are partial; missing or disputed details are labelled.
Sites are organized by country, then region, then area, so you can zoom from a whole coastline down to a single bay. Start broad if you're still picking a destination, or jump straight to a named site if you already know where you're headed — every level of the hierarchy links up and down, and every page counts what it aggregates below it.
Browse by country, region or area to compare dive sites. Read each guide's sources and uncertainty labels, and confirm access and current conditions with a local operator.
582 dive sites are listed across 17 countries. Some guides are partial, with missing or disputed details labelled.
Best conditions shift by region and season, so there's no single answer worldwide. Check a specific dive site's page for depth, visibility, and current details before you plan a trip.
From shallow reefs to deep wrecks, drift dives to wall dives — Diveity's dive site atlas spans every style of diving, searchable by country, region, and area.
Most sites call for at least an Open Water certification, and some advanced sites require further training. Local dive shops and resorts can help you get certified if you are not yet.

A named site with historical specimen records Gosliner’s 2011 taxonomic paper records specimens from Mainit Bubbles collected in May 2009 at 12 m. That provides a named historical locality; the collection depth is not a maximum depth or a standard dive profile.

An offshore reef with deeper features Anilao Diving and Resorts describes Mapating as a reef with a drop-off and variable currents, using a 5–40 m range. Marco Vincent Divers lists Mapating, labelled Shark Cave, at 16–42 m. These are operator profiles rather than a surveyed boundary. Keep the reef outing distinct from cave access The checked descriptions do not establish…

A named dive site on Caban Island The REEF survey-location catalogue lists Caban Cove on Caban Island as location 71010037. This establishes a named survey location; the catalogue alone does not show what a visitor will see on a particular dive.

Layag-Layag: reef habitat and differently described routes Layag-Layag is a named reef in the Mabini–Tingloy diving area. The Coastal Conservation and Education Foundation's March 2011 field report describes a study area encompassing the northern tip of Caban Island and Kirby Rock to the east. That survey footprint is broader than a single booked dive route; it does not establish this…

What the sources describe Koala is an Anilao dive site described by The Philip Ann Resort as a gently sloping area used by novice divers. The same operator describes medium-strength currents, while Anilao Diving and Resorts calls them usually mild. These undated descriptions do not establish dependable conditions; beginner-oriented wording is not a promise of an effortless dive. Ask the…

What the sources describe Red Rock appears among Anilao’s sandy macro-diving sites in a first-person Crystal Blue Resort trip report published by Undercurrent in June 2026. It offers a useful lead for divers interested in looking for small subjects rather than choosing a site only for reef scenery. The writer discusses Red Rock together with Secret Bay and Bubbles.

What the sources describe Dead Palm is an Anilao dive name that appears in Solitude World’s guide under “Arthur’s Rock (or Arthur’s to Dead Palm)”. The wording connects it with an Arthur’s Rock route, but does not establish that the two names identify exactly the same area. Solitude describes coral formations and opportunities for macro and wide-angle photography along this…

A boulder and reef-slope dive Apol’s Point also appears as Aphol’s Point in the Anilao Diving operator guide . That page describes a sloping reef with a small drop-off and two large boulders. Its comparison with Cathedral describes the appearance of the rocks; it does not identify this site as Cathedral. The operator reports a 10–25 m route and soft…
