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.

Philippines > Palawan > El Nido
Paglugaban reef and rock formations Tabanka describes a route combining slope, wall and a rock labyrinth; El Nido Paradise lists slope and reef rock. These named entries support a partial guide to the outdoor reef route. They do not establish that a recreational booking includes cave penetration. Published depths Tabanka gives 5–30 m and El Nido Paradise gives 8–30 m.…
Philippines > Palawan > El Nido
Bikanayos Rock and the Pacanayas name Bikanayos Rock is a named El Nido dive location whose published descriptions use several spellings. PADI’s El Nido guide explicitly calls Bikanayos Rock Picanayas. Aquanaut Dive Center describes Pacanayas in northwestern Bacuit Bay and also uses Picanayas and Bicanayos. These accounts support the name connection, but do not independently confirm the precise dive route…

Malpadon Reef is a source-named dive site in the Coron area of Palawan. The sources describe a coral reef. This is a partial Coron-area guide based on published dive-site listings. This guide follows the Scubago/SSI point named Malpadon near Sangat Island. Pirates Diving Center also lists Malpadon Reef. The spelling Malpandon appears in source prose, but its alias status and…

Alcatraz Reef is a source-named dive site in the Coron area of Palawan. Operator descriptions identify a reef around a small rocky island near Siete Pecados in the channel between Busuanga and Coron Island.

Philippines > Palawan > Puerto Princesa
Maris Rock is a named dive site in Puerto Princesa Bay, Palawan. PADI lists it, REEF records the site name, and an Aggressor dive log separately names it. This is a Puerto Princesa Bay dive site, not a Honda Bay island-hopping stop. The point comes from a third-party PADI listing and is approximate, not a surveyed entry or navigation waypoint.…

Silica Reef is a named dive site in Puerto Princesa Bay, Palawan. PADI lists it, REEF records the site name, and an Aggressor dive log separately names it. This is a Puerto Princesa Bay dive site, not a Honda Bay island-hopping stop. PADI also uses the name Tangdol Reef; that alias is not independently confirmed here. Location unresolved: the approximate…

It has no map marker or navigation…
Philippines > Palawan > Coron
Two reef areas in the operator's account Sangat Island Dive Resort places Calumbuyan Reef in Gutob Bay, between the Okikawa and Akitsushima wreck areas. It distinguishes coral gardens on the island's eastern side from a deeper reef to the south. Confirm which part is included in the outing; the same reef name does not describe one uniform depth or route.…

Exact boundaries and entry arrangements have not been independently checked. Location unresolved: The exact dive-site position has not been established for this partial guide.

It has no map marker or navigation point. Depth, current…
Philippines > Palawan > El Nido
Abdeens Reef is named in operator material for El Nido’s Bacuit Bay.
