Diveity's dive site atlas spans 585 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.
585 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.

South Miniloc reef The reviewed providers describe reef terrain at South Miniloc. Published route limits differ: Tabanka gives 5–40 m and El Nido Paradise gives 5–43 m. These reports do not establish the earlier 30 m maximum as the site's outer limit. Current information is inconsistent Tabanka's narrative and summary characterize current differently. This guide therefore does not promise uniformly…
Philippines > Palawan > El Nido
Entalula's west wall PADI's West Entalula Wall entry places the route in Entalula's west bay and credits Tabanka as a contributor. It describes a wall with a coral-garden section. El Nido Paradise separately lists South Entalula, so the south reef should not be treated as the same route. Different depth descriptions PADI reports a 3–10 m garden and a wall…
Philippines > Palawan > Coron
The Black Island wreck commonly called Nanshin MDI Divers places the wreck called Nanshin Maru by Black Island and describes an upright vessel on sand. The local name is useful for arranging an outing, but it should not be treated as a settled identification of a particular wartime ship. Identity remains uncertain MDI describes a tanker. Sangat Island Dive Resort…
Philippines > Palawan > Coron
A wreck on the eastern reef slope Pirates Diving Resort places East Tangat Gunboat on the east side of Tangat Island, describing a wreck on a sloping coral reef. It reports a shallow section at 3 m and a maximum depth of 22 m. The KISS Diving account repeats much of that description. Similar wording should not be counted as…
Philippines > Palawan > Coron
A shallow wreck at Lusong Sangat Island Dive Resort describes Lusong Gunboat in front of Lusong Island, with hard coral growing on the wreck. Pirates Diving Resort also places it by Lusong and lists a 12 m maximum depth. Both accounts describe the stern reaching the surface at low tide. That is a tide-dependent observation, not a fixed minimum depth…
Philippines > Palawan > Coron
A skeletal hull beside a reef Pirates Diving Resort describes Skeleton Wreck near the northwest corner of Coron Island as the remaining framework of a steel hull about 25 m long. The wreck follows a reef slope rather than lying at a single depth. Depth reports need qualification Pirates places the bow at about 5 m and the stern at…
Philippines > Palawan > Coron
A protected coastal ecosystem Marine Conservation Institute’s Siete Pecados profile records a Silver Blue Park award in 2024. It describes a 1.8 km² marine park protecting coral reefs, seagrass and mangroves within the Calamianes marine protected area network. The Institute dates the park’s establishment to 2005 and describes the role of Barangay Tagumpay community members in its creation, monitoring and…
Philippines > Palawan > Coron
A reef outing near Barracuda Lake MDI Divers describes Twin Peaks as a reef and snorkeling area near the entrance to Barracuda Lake. Reggae Dive Center independently lists it as a coral reef near the lake. It offers a reef-focused outing in a destination often associated with wreck diving; confirm that the named reef is included in your itinerary. An…
Philippines > Palawan > Coron
A reef stop beside Lusong This listing describes the reef beside Lusong Gunboat. Experience Coron names Lusong Coral Garden as a separate snorkeling stop adjacent to the wreck. The Two Seasons Pawikan dive menu also lists the reef separately from the gunboat. These accounts support the Lusong association, but this partial guide does not establish an exact entry point or…
Philippines > Palawan > El Nido
Check availability before planning around North Rock Tabanka's published North Rock entry says it is outside the operator's regular daily schedule following reported coral damage. This is an attributed operator statement, not proof of a destination-wide closure or a current condition survey. Confirm the named route El Nido Paradise lists North Rock Crossing. The relationship between that route and this…
Philippines > Palawan > El Nido
A sandy training reef on Cadlao Island Paradise Beach is a shallow reef and sandy slope beside Cadlao Island in El Nido. Palawan Divers describes it as a short boat trip from town and uses the sheltered shallows for course exercises. Aquanaut also identifies the beach as a training location. The useful distinction is between the shallow practice area and…
Philippines > Palawan > El Nido
Popolcan reef route The reviewed providers list a sloping reef under Popolcan's underwater-forest name. Their published depth ranges differ: Tabanka gives 10–35 m and El Nido Paradise gives 5–30 m. This guide retains both reports without selecting definitive whole-site extrema. Confirm the intended profile Ask which section the proposed outing visits and what depth is planned. The disagreement may reflect…
