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) - PUZON II offers some of Visayas's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, October.
Puzon II isn’t a deep dive, barely hitting two metres, but don't let that fool you. This isn’t a coral garden you’re gliding over; it's a piece of history right at the surface. Sunk back in ’73, the motor vessel was beached after taking on a serious list. Now, much of the hull and superstructure are still right there, an incredible playground for freedivers and snorkelers. We love Puzon II for its accessibility and surprising character. You can spend an hour just finning around the exposed sections, imagining the ship's last moments. Schools of small fish dart in and out of the rusted metal, and we’ve spotted moray eels peeking from crevices within the wreck itself. It’s not about finding rare pelagics here; it's about the interaction with the wreck itself, how marine life has completely taken over. We'd suggest going on a calm morning; the water gets incredibly clear then, and the light filtering through the surface ripples dances beautifully on the metal. This site is our pick for anyone who enjoys exploring history underwater without the need for tanks, or for photographers looking for unique shallow wreck shots.
