Diveity's dive site atlas spans 627 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.
627 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 > Visayas > Southern Leyte
Buluarte: an overlapping house-reef route Buluarte is part of the reef diving around Padre Burgos in Southern Leyte. Peter's Dive Resort describes it together with Voltaire's Rock and Max Climax: adjacent routes in front of the resort with drop-offs, sandy slopes and hard and soft corals. That grouped description supports the character of the area; it does not establish a…
BeginnerPhilippines > Luzon > Subic Bay
El Capitan: the cargo wreck known as USS Majaba El Capitan is a Subic Bay wreck identified by Camayan Divers and Scubaholics with USS Majaba, formerly the merchant ship Meriden. Its interest lies in the remains of a cargo vessel and a wartime history that continued after serious damage. The torpedo attack described in naval records happened off Guadalcanal; it…
BeginnerPhilippines > Luzon > Subic Bay
San Quentin, the Sunken Tin Camayan describes San Quentin as a shallow historic wreck with recognizable bow and stern remains and prominent boilers. Its account attributes the loss to scuttling in 1898 and describes much of the hull as flattened by deterioration, with marine growth around the remaining structure. Keep the histories separate San Quentin should not be confused with…
Philippines > Luzon > Subic Bay
Landing Ship Tank, Subic Bay The Subic LST is a large landing-ship wreck described by Camayan Divers with a 30–36-metre dive range. The LST vessel type was developed for transporting vehicles, cargo and personnel directly to shore. That general role does not prove the identity or wartime service record of this particular wreck. Wreck features and identity limits Scuba Tech…

Landing Craft Utility, Triboa Bay This guide concerns the shallower landing-craft wreck inside Triboa Bay, near the airport runway. It is distinct from the deeper Upside Down LCU. Camayan describes a raised forward ramp, deck structures and a sloping seabed; Arizona describes a starboard list. What remains uncertain The operators disagree on the precise craft designation: Camayan calls it an…
Philippines > Luzon > Subic Bay
Japanese Patrol Boat in Subic Bay The Japanese Patrol Boat is a commonly used dive-site name, not a confirmed identification of the vessel. Camayan Divers describes an upright wreck in the same cove as the LCU and explicitly says its exact type and purpose remain unknown. Suggested tug or detection roles should be treated as theories. Wreck profile and planning…
Philippines > Luzon > Subic Bay
Barges in Subic Bay Barges is a group of submerged pontoons and barge sections rather than a single intact ship. Camayan Divers describes separate components resting on sand, with a roughly T-shaped arrangement and sections at different depths. That variety makes the chosen section an important part of planning a visit. Understand the depth range Camayan’s detailed page lists a…

Seian Maru: access requires confirmation Do not assume this wreck is currently open to diving. Arizona Dive Shop reports an SBMA closure to all diving, while Camayan describes harbour restrictions that occur at times. The reviewed sources do not establish a current reopening or permission for a visit. Confirm access with an authorized local operator and the relevant harbour authority…

Oryoku Maru: history and access uncertainty Oryoku Maru is a Second World War prisoner-of-war transport wreck in Subic Bay, near the former Olongapo Naval Station. Its importance extends beyond recreational wreck diving: it is associated with the deaths of Allied prisoners and an official effort to account for missing Americans. Current recreational access has not been established by the sources…
Philippines > Visayas > Panglao
The wreck and the upper reef are different outings Scotty’s describes Habagat as a wreck on a sandy bottom, reached along a steep reef slope off Panglao. Its account distinguishes visiting the deeper wreck from exploring the upper reef. Confirm which part of the site is included in a booking; an outing described as suitable for a less experienced diver…
Philippines > Visayas > Panglao
A wall and sandy slope near Alona Philippine Fun Divers places Garden Eels on the west side of Alona Beach, in Danao, Panglao. It describes a curved cliff, coral on the upper wall and a sandy slope. Seaquest’s named Garden Eels section describes the same broad combination of wall, coral garden and sand, helping distinguish the outing from a wreck…

Momo Beach, Panglao Momo Beach is a named Panglao dive location near Doljo. Valm Divers describes a combination of wall and slope with hard and soft corals. Philippine Fun Divers includes Momo among the local sites it serves from Alona Beach.
