Coral Garden is Boracay's training-friendly coral reef.
Coral Garden is a boat-accessed reef site about 1 kilometer offshore from White Beach, laid out as sandy channels between coral bommies. It is widely used for training and entry-level instruction because the profile stays calm and easy in good conditions. The shallow coral top, fish-feeding traffic, and sheltered water make it a classic Boracay site for snorkelers, freedivers, and new divers.
