1. Giant Clams / The Hill Depth 17m |
Located close to Puerto Galera harbor, Giant Clams is renowned for its muck diving. Here you can find Hairy Frogfish, many different species of Nudibranch, Mimic Octopus and Wonderpus and Flamboyant Cuttlefish if you are lucky. The site starts shallow at 6m, where you can find the Giant Clams, some up to 1.5m wide, calmly filter-feeding the nutrient rich waters. You then swim deeper, and end up in the muck, a sandy grassy bottom, where many of natures oddities that have mastered camouflage reside. Our staff are experts at finding the smallest creature here hiding in the sand. Bob tail squid are here, only 1 cm long, yet still changing colour and shape like its bigger relatives. Can be done as a night dive, where you can see the Mimics and Wonderpus come out to hunt! |
