Bauan

Bauan (Batangas) is a coastal gateway on the Philippine Sea side, with scuba diving options mostly organized from nearby Batangas towns. In practice, divers typically reach sites by short drives to marinas and then do boat dives to offshore reefs and walls, where visibility can vary with tides and weather. Since Bauan itself is not a large resort strip, you may find fewer on-the-ground dive services in the town and more choices in the surrounding Batangas area. Expect conditions that are best when seas are calm, and plan for brief-to-medium boat trips rather than long liveaboard schedules.
