1. Happy Monday everyone! Last week, we discussed about the dive sites in Bohol. To add more to the diving destinations in Visayas is Leyte. Leyte dive sites are good for beginners, as well as for advanced and experienced divers. There are: shallow slopes, beautiful coral gardens (hard and soft corals), as well as deep drop-off and sports for current dives. Stay tuned for more later as we talk about the dive sites in Leyte.

2. One of the dive sites in Leyte is the Max Climax Wall and Baluarte. This is a dive on a wall with a lot of crevices and the wall is riddled with crevices that shelter angelfish, snappers, sweetlips, napoleon wrasses and groupers. Another dive site is the Tangaka-an Point. Tangkaan point, also known as the Heaven’s Gate, is a long land mass with some outstanding and varied pristine reefs and walls to explore just off the shore. Another dive site is the Napantaw Fish Sanctuary. This wall dive goes by many names, in cluding Rio’s Wall and Toshi’s Wall. This one stands out not only for its huge gorgonians, black corals and soft corals, but also for its generally prolific and colorful marine life. Don’t forget to dive safely and #divesafePH

3. Earlier, we talked about the dive sites in Leyte. To add more to those dive sites is Peter’s Mound. A sea mound just 200m (650ft) offshore, this is a fascinating site and a cleaning station for large pelagics. Sometimes the currents are strong here. Here, you can see wrasse, groupers, sweetlips, surgeons, fusiliers, tuna, and jacks. Another dive site is the Bato Dako. Here, divers descend to 20-25m, following the main reef wall, and gradually ascend to a safety stop level to explore the wonderful and pristine hard corals. Another dive site is the The Hole. A hole at 16m, beautifully decorated with gorgonians and sponges, gives the dive site its name. Don’t forget to dive safely and #divesafePH
