Diveity's dive site atlas spans 556 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.
556 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 seaplane tender near Manglet MDI Divers describes Akitsushima as a seaplane tender near Manglet Island, between Culion and Busuanga. Its account identifies the crane associated with handling the aircraft as a notable wreck feature. The appeal is the vessel's specialized role and remaining structure, rather than a promise of access to its interior. Operator descriptions differ MDI reports a…
Philippines > Palawan > Coron
A refrigeration wreck in Coron Bay MDI Divers identifies Irako as a former refrigeration ship and describes an upright wreck with a main deck at about 34 m. Deck depth is a particular structural level; it is not an average depth for the whole site or a recommended dive profile. Different reports of the bottom depth MDI places the wreck…
Philippines > Palawan > Coron
A tanker wreck with a complicated name history MDI Divers describes Okikawa Maru as a tanker wreck and notes earlier confusion with Taiei Maru. A historical misidentification is not the same as a confirmed alternate vessel identity, so the names should not be used to merge separate records automatically. Conflicting maximum depths MDI and Pirates Diving Resort give a 26…
Philippines > Palawan > Coron
A cargo wreck with construction-material features MDI Divers describes Kogyo Maru as a cargo wreck near Lusong, resting on its starboard side. Pirates Diving Resort describes construction materials within the vessel. These are accounts of the wreck's character, not confirmation that any particular compartment is accessible on a present-day visit. Maximum and average are different claims MDI reports a 34…
Philippines > Palawan > Coron
Keep the current Olympia listing distinct The Two Seasons Pawikan menu lists Olympia Maru as formerly Tangat and separately lists Morazan as formerly Olympia. Sangat Island Dive Resort makes the same distinction in its naming notes. Historical use of Olympia therefore cannot, by itself, identify which present-day wreck a source or booking refers to. Depth descriptions do not agree Pirates…
Philippines > Palawan > Coron
Morazan and the historical Olympia name The Two Seasons Pawikan menu lists Morazan Maru as formerly Olympia while retaining a separate current Olympia entry. Sangat Island Dive Resort also describes Morazan as a wreck previously misidentified as Olympia. Keep that historical naming context attached to the claim rather than treating the two present listings as duplicates. Reported depths differ Pawikan…
Philippines > Palawan > Coron
A separate outing in northeast Busuanga MDI Divers describes Kyokuzan Maru as an upright cargo wreck northeast of Busuanga. Pirates Diving Resort treats it as a separate excursion from the central Coron wreck sites. Confirm the departure location and transport arrangements rather than assuming it fits a standard Coron Bay boat itinerary. Keep structural depths separate MDI reports the hull…
Philippines > Palawan > Coron
A lake dive among limestone formations The PADI site account, contributed by Neptune Dive Center , describes fresh water above salt water and submerged rock formations at Barracuda Lake. Its appeal is the unusual water layers and landscape, rather than a reef or wreck. KISS Diving describes access over limestone after arriving at Coron Island. Ask your operator about the…
Philippines > Palawan > Coron
A sea-connected cave at Coron Island KISS Diving places Cathedral Cave on the eastern side of southern Coron Island and describes a submerged connection to an interior chamber. This is the Coron dive site, not the similarly named attraction at Pinasil Island in El Nido. The shared name is a reason to confirm the destination when booking. Depth depends on…
Philippines > Palawan > El Nido
Nat-Nat reef slope Tabanka Divers describes Nat-Nat as a reef slope used for training near El Nido town. This is a source-attributed partial guide, not a recent underwater survey. Route and conditions The operator gives a 5–28 m range and notes that current can strengthen enough for a drift. A training stop should therefore not be read as a promise…
Philippines > Palawan > El Nido
Twin Rocks in El Nido Tabanka Divers and El Nido Paradise both describe a sloping reef at Twin Rocks. This guide concerns the El Nido listing; similarly named sites elsewhere are not evidence for it. Depth disagreement Their published ranges differ: Tabanka gives 5–35 m, while El Nido Paradise gives 5–40 m. The earlier single 25 m maximum is not…
Philippines > Palawan > El Nido
Open reef and tunnel are different routes El Nido Paradise lists Dilumacad Reef separately from Dilumacad Tunnel. The existing Helicopter Island guide covers the broader island context; a reef booking should not imply entry into the overhead route. Published route information El Nido Paradise gives the reef as 5–43 m and the tunnel as 10–15 m. These describe different features,…
