Why dive here
With 554+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, manta rays and mobula rays (devil rays) - Fortuner offers some of Visayas's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, October.
The Fortuner wreck in the Visayas is one of those dives we keep coming back to. Not just for the wreck itself, but for the sheer atmosphere. This old motor vessel sits upright at 55 meters, a real deep dive that needs careful planning and experience. Drop down the line and the ship just materialises out of the blue, often with schools of Jacks swirling around the mast. We love exploring the bridge area, though penetration needs to be done with extreme caution. Inside, it’s dark, almost spooky, with giant groupers often lurking in the holds. Visibility here can be hit or miss, but on a good day, the light rays filtering through the upper decks are absolutely mesmerising. Our tip: go early to avoid any boat traffic on the surface, and listen for the creaks and groans of the wreck settling – it’s a dive that really gets under your skin.
