    CharacterWreck dive

    The Sabang Wrecks in Anilao offer a unique take on a wreck dive, mostly because it’s less about a single ship and more about several smaller vessels scattered across the seabed. We found old fishing boats and a small yacht, all broken up, settling between 12 and 20 meters. It’s an easy dive, perfect for knocking out a few longer bottom times, and the marine life here really makes it. Expect to see batfish hovering over the skeletal remains, often with a few lionfish tucked into crevices. The sandy patches between the wrecks are also worth a look; we’ve spotted blue-spotted rays gliding by there more than once.

    Safety Notes

    Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
