Boat-access reef with sharks, turtles, and snapper.
Boat access and tide planning are easiest through a local Puerto Galera dive center.
Sabang Point is a boat dive just outside Sabang where a shallow coral slope leads into a small wall and a tide-sensitive reef profile. It is known for dense fish life, pygmy seahorses, snapper, turtles, and sharks in the wider area, and it suits photographers who want both structure and movement. Plan it with tide timing and a local boat operator.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Stay close to the reef slope, watch the current direction, and keep a light handy for the wall and coral pockets.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; tide timing and local guidance matter.
Legal Notes
Follow local marine and operator rules for Puerto Galera and the Sabang area.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
This is a classic reef-and-wall circuit rather than a deep target, with the flow and reef shape doing the work.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive site; the current and wall profile make scuba the better fit.
Snorkeling
Only the shallow fringe is snorkel-friendly on calm days, so it is mainly a scuba reef.
