One of the most famous dive sites in Sabang. Only minutes away from the beach, but holding such a wide diversity of marine life. Most sort after, are the numerous Frogfish that can be found on the three wrecks. Giant, Painted and Warty Frogfish all reside on the wrecks, camouflaged in every nook and cranny, waiting for a not so lucky fish to go for its lure.

But be careful, also hiding on the wrecks are numerous Scorpion and Stonefish. Schools of Batfish swim around the wrecks, that have become very accustomed to divers, making great photo opportunities. Furry orangoutang crabs hide within the bubble coral, with ornate ghost pipefishes are located close by, using crinoids as disguise.

One of the favorite night dives, the wrecks become alive with smaller crustaceans and even more macro. Occasional sightings of Spanish Dancesr and Blue Ring Octopus if you are lucky.

2. Alma Jane
Depth 30m
Travel Time – 1m

Originally a Filipino cargo vessel, was stripped of all dangerous objects, and made safe for diving before sinking. Now the Alma Jane is a beautiful artificial reef, sitting just a minute away from Blue Ribbon Divers.

Hiding underneath the Alma Jane by the rudder, you can always find sweetlips and snapper. Giant Lionfish glide around the wreck effortlessly, while a School of Batfish sometimes comes to visit from Sabang Wrecks.

The site is ideal for the Wreck Speciality course, and also great on Enriched Air to extend the bottom time, giving you more time to explore.
