Marco Paradise - Puerto Galera

Puerto Galera is home to over thirty dive sites. Most are situated less than ten minutes by boat from Atlantis - the very beautiful Greece style diving resort. Slightly further away are the popular day trips of Verde Island and Chicken Feather Islands. Most of the sites start at 5m or less and so suit all levels of divers. For the more experienced there are challenging deep dives and high voltage drift dives.
