DG Beachfront Dive Site

★★★★☆ (202)

Beachfront immediately in front of DiveGurus Boracay, offering a convenient training site for underwater navigation and night dives. Gently sloping sandy bottom with a few scattered coral outcrops and rocks.

Although looking somewhat barren during the day, night is when a lot of nocturnal fish appear as well as many invertebrates: crabs, shrimps, squid, starfish, to name just a few.
