Crocodile Island

Crocodile Island is a reef dive site located 15 minutes by boat from White Beach, Boracay, named for the crocodile-shaped profile it presents when viewed from the surface. Sloping reefs descend from 5 metres to 30 metres, passing through canyons and caves draped in soft corals, gorgonians, and sea fans, making it Boracay's most species-diverse reef dive.

The site suits all certification levels, with depths ranging from a shallow 5 metres down to 30 metres and light current in most conditions. The east side offers the calmest water and the richest coral diversity, while the west side produces drift-diving conditions when currents run. Visibility commonly reaches 25 metres, and water temperature ranges from 25 to 32°C.

Marine life at Crocodile Island is a strong draw for macro photographers and wide-angle shooters alike. Hawksbill turtles feed on sponges along the walls, blue-spotted stingrays rest on sandy patches, and garden eels sway in the current. Macro subjects include seahorses, ghost pipefish, frogfish, and a wide variety of nudibranchs scattered across the reef.
