About this site
Santa Rosa is a wall dive off Olango Island, which sits just east of Mactan Island in Cebu province in the Visayas region of the Philippines. Olango's surrounding reefs are reached by short boat trips from Mactan's coastal resorts, with the channel between the islands known for its currents and marine sanctuary areas. The wall here drops to a maximum depth of around 50 metres, though it's rated a beginner site. Divers have also reported nudibranchs along the wall.
