This dive site is within Algoa Bay situated within the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropole. As with many dives within the BAY it can suffer visibility problems when the Bay is turbulent but when clear can be a magnificent dive. Not a very deep dive at 20 metres, its often a magic night dive with the backdrop of Port Elizabeth's skyline as a special feature. Phillips has long gullys covered with fans and False Lace coral and many other polyps and sponges. A good variety of juvenile and larger local fish can be spotted as well as the odd shy juvenile shark - Pyjama, Shy, Leopard and Raggies have been sighted here. It's and excellent calm relaxed dive for novices and enjoyable even for locals who dive here routinely.
