Why dive here
With 135+ marine species recorded in the area - including napoleon wrasse and pufferfish - SWEET SAIL offers some of Donsol & Sorsogon's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest June, July, August.
The Sweet Sail sits in the shallows just off the coast of Donsol. This motor vessel went down in 1985, running aground on its way to Manila, and now rests broken but substantial. It's a proper playground for newer wreck divers, with plenty of the superstructure still visible and bits you can fin through if you're comfortable. Schools of snapper and fusiliers often hang around the deeper parts of the hull, and we’ve spotted morays peeking from crevices. With a maximum depth of zero, it’s also great for snorkelers and even a decent spot for a shore dive if you're looking for something accessible.
Safety Notes
