About this spot

Deluna is a dive destination in the Philippines that welcomes divers throughout the year. The site sits outside any marine protected area, giving operators straightforward access. Coral health indicators show no stress, meaning the reef structure remains vibrant and intact—a positive sign for both marine habitat and dive experience. Twelve documented species observations provide a baseline for what you might encounter underwater. The marine life here supports the kind of biodiversity typical of Philippine reef systems. With three community videos available, you can preview conditions and get a real sense of what the site delivers before committing to a trip. Fresh data on depth, visibility, and exact temperature ranges would help fine-tune your planning, but the year-round access and stable coral conditions make Deluna a reliable option. The community presence—evidenced by video content—suggests an established route with enough visitor traffic to maintain current conditions reporting.
