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) - SWEET RIDE offers some of Visayas's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, October.
Sweet Ride is a nice surprise, a roll-on, roll-off vessel that went down off Canigao Island back in '78. We usually find it in pretty shallow water, which means good bottom time to explore the 53-meter hull. Coral has started to really grab hold of the deck and superstructure, so you'll see plenty of batfish schooling around the cargo holds and some pretty feisty lionfish tucked into the nooks. It’s a relaxed dive, perfect for photographers or anyone wanting to spend some quality time with a piece of history that’s slowly turning into a reef.
