Why dive here
With 496+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, bull sharks and octopuses - Ship Wreck offers some of Dumaguete's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest June, July, October.
The Ship Wreck in Dumaguete is a decent spot if you’re looking for something different from the usual reef dives. The wreck itself isn't massive, but it's well-colonized, giving it that overgrown, ghostly character. You'll find plenty of resident batfish hanging around the superstructure, and if you look closely, lionfish often shelter in the nooks and crannies. It's a fairly straightforward dive, making it a good choice for those new to wreck diving or just wanting a relaxed second dive.
