Basterra Reef is a deep-water site in the Philippines featuring a reef structure that descends from 25 metres to 100 metres. This location is suited for intermediate divers capable of managing moderate currents and depth. Visibility at the site typically ranges between 10 and 30 metres.

Due to the presence of sharp coral and rocks, maintain neutral buoyancy and keep a reef hook accessible to hold position without making contact with the reef structure. Remain vigilant regarding current intensity during all ascents and descents.
