About this site

Pura Vida Housereef sits along the Dauin coastline of Negros Oriental, on the southeast side of Negros Island in the Visayas region of the Philippines.

The site reaches a maximum depth of around 27 metres and is rated a beginner dive. Divers have reported batfish, clownfish, lionfish, nudibranchs, scorpionfish, sea turtles, seahorses, snapper, stingrays, and stonefish along the sand and rubble here.
