About Alona House Reef
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.

Local Intel For Alona House Reef
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.
