Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including clownfish, lionfish and pufferfish - SWEET FAITH offers some of Anilao's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest May, June, July.
Sweet Faith is a big one, a ferry that ran aground near Mindoro years ago, likely pushed there by a typhoon. Now she lies on her side, a sprawling metal skeleton colonized by the sea. We’ve spent dives poking through her upper decks, where schools of batfish often hang out, almost perfectly camouflaged against the rust. It’s a proper wreck dive, with plenty of nooks for moray eels and the occasional snapper, ideal for those who like to explore large structures rather than just drift along a reef.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
