Puerto Galera Home Of Mare Divers:

Puerto Galera is approximately 150 km/ 90miles South of Manila and is situated on the northern peninsula of Mindoro Island. Luzon and Mindoro are separated by the Verde Island passage. This passage connects the South China Sea  with the Sibuyan and Visayan.Sea and its waters are exchanged through this passage by currents of up to 6 knots.  This strong current makes some of the sites a spectacular ride alive with fish life, so diving with a professional who knows the area and the currents is very important. The passage is very deep so clear water is very common to the dive sites of Puerto Galera along with a fantastic variety of large and small marine creatures.  

The variety of hard and soft corals along with its variety of species of tropical fish and marine life makes it one of the most popular dive destinations in the Philippines that offers world class dive sites.
