Bel-At Beach 
Location - Off the north beach of Boracay.
Access - 20min north by boat and around to the north-northwest face of Boracay, east of Yapak 2.
Average Depth - 35m (115ft)
Maximum Depth - 50m (165ft)
Conditions - Usually dived when the weather is rough, so expect a strong current. visibility can reach 25m (80ft) on a flood tide.

This dive is for the experienced only. It is usually visited for excitement when the weather is too rough for Yapak 2, and is best dived on a flood tide. A wall rises to 30m (100ft), running east-to-west all the way to Yapak 1. Divers must quickly descend to the wall and get into its shelter.

The wall itself has plenty of interesting soft corals, gorgonians and stony corals, together with a myriad of reef fish, but the main object of the dive is to look out into the blue water where, in a strong current, almost anything could pass by. Shoals of jacks, surgeonfish, Rainbow Runners, sweetlips and batfish are common, but larger animals are often seen, including large groupers, Napoleon Wrasse, turtles, Whitetip Reef Sharks and Grey Reef Sharks. 


Yapak 1 
Location - Located just northwest of Guiniuit Point, the northwest point of Boracay.
Access - 20min north by boat.
Average Depth - 115ft
Maximum Depth - 210ft
Conditions - These sites are best dived on a strong flood tide, when there are strong and unpredictable currents. Surface conditions can be rough with visibility up to 80ft.

By common consent, this is the most exciting diving off Boracay and the site that all the divemasters head for when they have a strong enough group. 

The dive requires a fast descent to the shelter of the wall, regardless of surface conditions. The main object of the dive is to look our into the blue. There are large shoals of fishes. These are dives only for the experienced and not for anybody.


Yapak 2

Punta Bonga 
Location - Located west-southwest of Guiniuit Point.
Access - 15min north by boat until opposite Punta Bonga.
Average Depth - 60ft

Conditions - This site is usually dived in clam conditions, with little current and visibility can reach 20m (60ft).
