About this site
Shark Cave is a cave and reef dive site in Puerto Galera, Philippines, accessed by boat from the Sabang Beach area. It reaches a maximum depth of 26 metres and is rated advanced level, suited to experienced divers comfortable with cave environments and variable currents.
The site features a wall structure with a cave formation set within reef terrain. Highlights include the cave itself alongside reef fish, rays, sweetlips, and turtles noted in dive logs for the site.
Conditions run best between March and June, with March and May considered the prime months. Water temperature sits between 27–30°C, visibility is generally good, and current is typically light — though stronger currents are a known hazard and dives are best timed on the flood tide.
