1.Virgin Drop

Experience Level: Advanced to Technical

27m-56m

This site is located 1 km off shore of station 2 the heart of Boracay’s white Beach. This site is great for advanced to technical divers because it takes on 5 minutes to get to by boat and the current is not as strong as at locations like Yapak or Balinghai. The site begins at 27 meters and drops off to 36 meters. From there there it slopes down to 45 meters then drops drastically to 56 meters. The centralized location makes this a great training site for Nitrox, Advanced Nitrox and training decompression dives because there is  a rope to the bottom and the current is not very strong. You can find large fan corals sometimes 3-4 meters wide and large Lapu-Lapu (grouper). There are also a few little caverns filled with squirrel fish and tiny shrimps. It is also possible to see Green sea turtles and white tip reef sharks if you get to the site before 9am.

2.Yapak 1

Experience Level: Advanced to Technical

33m-60m

This dive site is located directly in front of the new Shrangri-La Boracay Construction Project on the north western corner of the island. The wall begins at 33m and drops off straight down to 55 meters. Then there is a gentle slope down to the 60m range. One high light of the dive site is a large hole in the wall large enough to drive a small car through. This hole starts at 42 meters and rises up to 33m, in it you can find sweet lips of all varieties, snapper, wall eyes, jack trevallys, moray eels, squirrel fish and sometimes a Napoleon wrasse. Eagle rays can be seen swimming the wall in groups of 2-3 early in the morning. This site is best dived 2 hours before the posted High tide or before 9am.

3.Yapak 2

33m-58m

Experience Level: Advanced to Technical

This is the most famous and challenging dive site in Boracay. Yapak is a 2 km long wall dive running north to south that begins at 33m meters and drops down to 60 meters. The top of the wall is home to Sweet lips, Jack trevallys, Red bass, Tuna, White tip reef sharks and the occasional Eagle ray or Green sea turtles. This site can have very strong currents and is recommended you have a good amount of experience before attempting this dive with your dive master or instructor.

If you are tech diver certified Yapak 2 is the dive site for you,  the wall rises up from 60 meters and is covered with caves over hangs and large swim though crevices. Giant  trevallys can be seen at these technical depths as well as resting back tip reef sharks and if you get to the site early enough, manta rays.

Yapak 3 begins where the wall starts to run West to east as opposed to Yapak 2 which runs South to North. Yapak 3 is defined by its deeper running wall which averages 40 meters and drops down to 70 meters by a large cavern at 47 meters.
