About Ernie's Cave
Rocky cave-and-reef dive in Puerto Galera where compact cave mouths, pinnacles, and reef faces create a short, engaging route for experienced divers. It rewards clean buoyancy and a slack-tide window, because the site can feel punchy once the current shifts and the return is less forgiving. A local guide helps keep the approach tidy and the exit controlled.
