Puerto Galera dive conditions — Wednesday 28 October 2026
Asia/Manila · Updated early afternoon · Cross-check with your boat briefing
At a glance
- Diveability: Good day overall — about 3 of 5 common sites rated diveable right now. Sheltered picks (Sabang wrecks and nearby) look best; hold judgment on more exposed Passage sites until you see the sea state on the boat.
- Weather: Wet NE monsoon pattern — drizzle/rain on and off, overcast. PAGASA tourist outlook ~25–30°C. SE wind around 10 kn; rain totals can stack through the day.
- Water: ~29.8°C. Swell ~0.5 m ENE — generally workable for diving when sites match exposure.
- Usual boat times: 09:00, 11:00, 13:30. Night 18:00 only if ops green-light it in this rain.
Tide (approximate, Asia/Manila)
- Low ≈ 06:12 (0.3 m)
- High ≈ 13:12 (1.1 m)
- Low ≈ 15:41 (1.0 m)
- High ≈ 22:54 (1.9 m)
Midday high / slack around the early afternoon boat is the calmer current window for many sites. Spring-ish range — expect more moving water away from slack, especially on Verde Island Passage / Canyon-style dives.
Practical notes
- Prefer Sabang / inside options if rain and SE wind keep the outer sites up.
- Bring a light rain shell for transfers; visibility may drop after heavy runoff — ask your guide what they saw on the first boat.
- This page is updated daily. Prior days stay in the Conditions archive for cross-reference.
