scuba diving the wreck of the Alma Jane puerto galera

The Alma Jane, a 30 meters / 100 feet passengers - cargo vessel was sunk on purpose on march 3rd 2003 to create an artificial reef off Small Lalaguna Beach, near Purto Galera. She now rest upright at a depht of 30 meters / 100 feet of water and has over the years become a haven for a large number of fish. Large schools of batfish, snappers and fusilliers are found here. Also commonly spotted are the frogfish, lionfish, scropionfish and occasionally the banded seasnake. Currents on the wreck can sometimes be strong. This coastal town is well known among tourists for its numerous pocket beaches and many snorkeling and Scuba diving spots. The area was designated a Man and Biosphere Reserve of UNESCO in 1973 and has some of the most diverse coral reef diving in Asia. The marine environment has benefited in recent years from the influx of tourist dollars. This has seen a huge reduction in the number of fishermen in the area, as they gain higher revenue from tourists.

Puerto Galera is a listed by the Club of the Most Beautiful Bays of the World, and is the only bay in the Philippines to be listed there.

Among the famous beaches in Puerto Galera are Sabang Beach and White Beach, which have an active nightlife with numerous bars and restaurants. Both beaches also have an array of first-class and economy-class accommodations.

Sabang beach is the main destination for foreign tourists, while White Beach remains popular with local travelers.Big La Laguna Beach and Small La Laguna Beach are considered part of Sabang with resorts lining the beaches. Big La Laguna Beach is popular for local swimmers and snorkelers. Since 2001 White beach has seen uncontrolled development. New restaurants and places to stay are rapidly encroaching on the beach itself and little remains of the once charming beach. Puerto Galera town is a pleasant but sleepy Philippine town with few attractions. It has a large central catholic church and a Pier area, with a selection of bistros and cafes.
