Why dive here
With 496+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, bull sharks and octopuses - Pura Vida Housereef offers some of Dumaguete's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest June, July, October.
The Pura Vida Housereef, right off the resort, makes for an easy dive, especially if you're looking for something close. We’ve found a nice mix of macro life here – nudibranchs, frogfish, and often some decent pipefish hiding in the corals. It’s a good spot for a relaxed afternoon dive or a night dive if you’re staying nearby, really suitable for photographers wanting to take their time.
