If you are based in Philippines or near to Asia Pacific regions, then the Habagat shipwreck @ Panglao, Bohol is the wreck for you and your dive buddies to go scuba dive and enjoy! :)
The Habagat shipwreck is a dive site in Panglao, Bohol.
Diving the Habagat wreck The Habagat wreck dive site is just 1 kilometer away (0.6 nautical miles) heading to the 60° from the dive center at the BE Grand resort hotel in Panglao, Bohol province, which makes the dive site at less than 5 minutes by boat.
The Habagat wreck is a steep slope dive going down to 35 meters (115 feet). We usually start the dive on the little wreck, then go up on the nice sloped wall. During the dive, you will see a lot of different marine life as you ascend along the steep slope where good to very good visibility is usually the standard.
The Habagat Wreck rests at 35 meters (115 feet) on a sandy seabed. If you are planning to dive the wreck that was sunk in 2000, monitor your NDL unless you are a tec diver with a 50% deco tank (cylinder) for safe decompression.
There are also few small caves in the wall near the wreck where groupers and snappers are always hiding.

The Habagat wreck If you are not a deep diver, you can still enjoy the dive site, because at around 12 meters (40 feet), there is a lot of corals, as well as many reef fishes shoaling all around. The biodiversity is quite exceptional.
So other than the wreck, the Habagat wreck dive site is made with a long steep slope, starting around 8 meters (25 feet) going down to 35 meters (115 feet), where the best part is between 12 to 20 meters (40 to 65 feet), which means that beginner divers (open water) can also enjoy the fantastic tropical reef.
There are so many dive sites around Panglao Island, Bohol that every dive center tries to show off which one offers the most diving spots.
