Kilima Steps
Stepped reef off Puerto Galera with coral and critters
Local operator required
Boat timing and tide checks are part of the normal access pattern.
Boat access, multilevel topography and variable current make this a photo-friendly reef when the tide and conditions cooperate.
About Kilima Steps
Kilima Steps is a stepped reef off Puerto Galera with ledges, ridges and rock formations that create a multilevel profile. It is usually reached by boat from Sabang-area dive centers and rewards slow swimming with corals, sponges and a lot of small reef life. Current can change with tide and moon phase, so it is best treated as a site where conditions matter as much as the reef shape.
