Pura Vida House Reef
Resort-front Dauin house reef for macro life and night dives
Shore entry from the resort front, black-sand muck, and artificial reef structures make this a resort-based macro site with easy logistics and strong night-dive appeal.
About Pura Vida House Reef

It combines black-sand muck, artificial reef structures, wrecks, and a gentle slope into a compact house reef that suits easy day dives, photography, and night dives.

Local Intel For Pura Vida House Reef
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A compact house reef with black-sand muck, wrecks, concrete blocks, and a steel pyramid creates a strong macro site for day dives, photography, and night dives.
Freediving
Short shallow breath-hold sessions are possible on the upper slope, but the site is mainly a scuba and snorkel macro reef.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling can work close to the resort in calm water, but the best critter hunting sits a bit farther down the slope and is easier to appreciate with scuba.
