Best for intermediate divers, Up to 32m, boat entry, moderate current.
Hinugan is a reef-to-wall dive site in Boracay, Philippines, featuring a drop-off that extends to a maximum depth of 32 metres. The topography consists of a coral structure that transitions into a wall, where divers can observe sea fans and gorgonian branches. Due to the moderate currents that can strengthen quickly, this site is recommended for intermediate divers with strong buoyancy control. Access is strictly by boat, and it is advised to plan dives around slack water to ensure safe navigation along the wall. Conditions and visibility can vary, and divers should remain vigilant of depth changes throughout the descent.
