Boat wall dive with colorful reef life.
Boat wall dive with colorful reef life.
Crocodile Island is a small Boracay reef site with a shallow wall, canyons, and overhangs that rewards a careful drift or a relaxed reef pass. The site mixes colorful coral structure with classic Philippine reef life, so it works well as a macro-friendly dive that can also turn up larger reef animals when the current and tide line up. It is best approached as a steady, guided boat dive with close attention to the flow.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Depths range from 10 to 30 meters with wall terrain plus canyons and cave-like features.
Freediving
Only the shallow top sections are freedive-friendly; the site is better suited to scuba and guided drift timing.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is possible, but the site is more rewarding as a boat dive because the wall and canyons sit below the easy surface zone.
