| The Canyons Depth 30m Travel Time – 8m |
Puerto Galera’s signature exhilarating drift dive, not for the novice. Drop in at Hole-in-the-Wall, and let the current take you. After a small drift, three canyons are situated at 24,27 and 30m, that protect you from the current. Here you can kneel down, and watch the shoals of Snapper, Giant Trevallies, Sweetlips, Barracuda, Emperor fish play in the current. Sea snakes are commonly found here, along with an assortment of Nudibranch.
Just after the third Canyon (at 30m) you can find an old 1.5m Spanish Anchor, where you can hold on and regroup before letting go and starting your accent. Best experienced on Nitrox, after your bottom time is up, its time for a accent into the blue. Up and down currents can throw you around while ascending, so make sure you watch your depth meter or your divemaster. If the currents are strong you can end up 1 mile away from your entry point, so make sure you stick with your group. A dive not to be missed, and can be done on slack tide, with little to no current, for those that wish. A great site for wide-angle photography. |
