Saint Christopher Wreck
Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including clownfish, lionfish and pufferfish - Saint Christopher Wreck offers some of Anilao's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest May, June, July.
The Saint Christopher Wreck in Anilao offers a straightforward dive, a small cargo vessel lying upright in about 20-30 meters of water. It’s not an enormous wreck, but its compact size means you can explore most of it in a single dive. We often find schools of batfish hanging around the main deck, and the wheelhouse is a good spot to peek for lionfish sheltering in the shadows. The surrounding sandy slope gives way to some scattered coral bommies, attracting nudibranchs if you take the time to look closely. It's a nice easy dive, good for a second or third dip of the day, especially if you’re looking to practice wreck penetration skills without any major challenges.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
