Culion’s House Reefs: Macro Magic, Minutes Away

A Critter Paradise: Why We Are “Nudibranch Divers”

We proudly carry the title of “Nudibranch Divers” for a good reason! The areas right in front of our doorstep are a little paradise for macro life and critters.
For underwater photographers and lovers of the small and peculiar, our house reefs provide endless hours of fascination. You can expect to find a phenomenal diversity of tiny inhabitants, from rare species of nudibranchs and seahorses to various shrimp, crabs, and juvenile fish hiding in the vibrant corals.
Vibrant Life and Surprising Encounters
Beyond the macro world, our healthy, vibrant reefs are teeming with larger marine life. Thanks to our location in the protected Coron Bay, the coral gardens flourish, attracting a wonderful array of sea creatures.
During your shallow dives here, you might be lucky enough to have surprising encounters with:
Sea Turtles (green and hawksbill)
Juvenile Blacktip Reef Sharks
And, on rare and magical occasions, the gentle Dugongs!

The Ultimate Day Out: Island Hopping & Dive Combos

Why choose between the spectacular scenery above water and the wonders beneath the waves when you can have both?

Culion is perfectly positioned to access some of the most beautiful islands in Palawan, and luckily, many of these stunning destinations also boast fantastic, healthy dive sites! We believe one of the best ways to spend your day is by combining the best of both worlds: thrilling diving, scenic island hopping, and a relaxing lunch on the beach.

Choose Your Adventure
We are here to help you mix and match your itinerary for the ultimate experience. We offer dives and visits to some of the best white-sand beach paradises Palawan has to offer, including:
Malcapuya Island

Banana Island
Bayaca Private Island
And many more!

The Catch of the Day (Literally!)
For a truly unique experience, ask us to incorporate a little culinary adventure into your day. As we spend our surface intervals traveling between sites, we can always try our luck fishing off the boat! If successful, we can prepare your fresh catch right there on the beach for a truly homemade, unforgettable dive-day lunch.

Deep Immersion: Unmatched Wreck Diving in Coron Bay

Beating the Crowds: The Culion Advantage

Coron Bay is globally recognized as one of the finest wreck diving destinations on Earth, hosting a fleet of WWII Japanese Imperial Navy supply ships sunk during the 1944 aerial attack. Our position on Culion Island places us perfectly among these massive, historically significant structures, allowing us to offer the best possible experience.

All our favorite wrecks are located right between Culion and Coron. This strategic location means we can generally beat the flotilla of dive boats coming from Coron and often have these majestic sites virtually to ourselves! We believe the best way to appreciate these historical giants is in silence and serenity.
Diving with Decades of Experience
Your wreck dives will be led by highly experienced instructors, such as Simon or Gerd, with the leadership tailored to the group’s experience level and requirements.
Gerd, in particular, has been diving the Coron wrecks with a passion for over 20 years. His extensive knowledge goes far beyond the standard briefing; he knows specific profiles, entry points, and details that few other local guides are aware of, giving you a truly unique and in-depth exploration.
