Yapak 2

Yapak 2 sits off Boracay's northern tip in the Visayas region of the Philippines, near the better known Yapak drop-off area, on a wall reaching down to around 70 metres. This part of Boracay's coastline faces open water beyond the island's main tourist beaches, with dive boats typically running up from Bulabog or the northern resorts. It's rated a technical dive, with negative water entries and compass navigation required, and divers need to time the descent around tide current and account for rough surface conditions and waves. Divers have reported grouper, Napoleon wrasse, reef sharks, snapper, trevally, and tuna along the wall.
