Best for advanced divers, 48-53m, boat entry, moderate current.
The Oakita Maru is a deep wreck dive located off Malapascua, Philippines, resting at depths between 48 and 53 metres. This site is strictly for advanced divers due to the significant depth and the presence of moderate currents. Visibility typically ranges from 10 to 30 metres, allowing for clear views of the wreck structure. Divers must be aware of entanglement risks within the internal wreck features and should plan gas management and ascent schedules carefully. Boat support is required for all entries and exits. Given the depth, bottom time is limited, necessitating precise dive planning and buoyancy control.

At this depth your bottom time is severely limited, so discuss your gas turn-pressure and ascent schedule with your buddy on the boat before you descend. Confirm current conditions with your operator on the day, as moderate flow can shift your entry point significantly.
