Montani Bay dive site

Overview

Description

Montani dive site is a hidden gem in Puerto Galera, Philippines, that's waiting to be discovered by avid divers seeking a unique experience. It's a muck dive site that offers a chance to explore a completely different underwater world. With visibility ranging from 5 to 15 meters, this site is perfect for macro enthusiasts, who love to explore the small and unique marine life. The dive site is located in a sheltered bay that's protected from currents, making it a great spot for beginner divers as well as experienced ones.
