Best dive sites in Palawan

Tubbataha Reef – This is a major highlight of diving in Palawan and not be missed. Tubbataha Reef offers dramatic underwater terrain and awe inspiring marine biodiversity including 600 fish species, 360 coral species and 11 shark species. Look out for resident reef sharks, turtles and manta rays. Mares Rock – Located at the mouth of Puerto Princesa Bay, this sloping reef site drops down to 34 metres / 112 feet and is a must for underwater photographers and macro aficionados. Critter highlights here include octopus, crustaceans, nudibranch and interesting bottom dwellers. If you prefer ‘big fish’, tuna, turtles, barracuda and jack fish are also spotted here. Cuttlefish Shawl – This relatively shallow site has a max depth 20 metres / 66 feet and is home to sea turtles, angelfish, barracuda, and of course cuttlefish – which are often seen here in numbers. Other marine life highlights include passing reef sharks, schools of fusiliers and occasional dugongs which are spotted in the bay. Morazan Maru – Located in Coron, in Palawan’s north, this passenger cargo vessel was built in 1907 and later commandeered for WWI by the British. She was later captured by the Japanese who utilised her in WWII. At just under 100 metres / 330 feet, the cargo holds are empty but the steel boilers in the engine room are still intact. The large cargo holds and engine room make this a suitable wreck for newly certified or experienced PADI Wreck Divers. Dilumacad Tunnel – Located in El Nido, in Palawan’s north, this 35 metre / 115 foot long tunnel was discovered in the early 1990’s. Starting at 12 metres / 40 feet, with a memorial plate at the entrance, the tunnel has a sandy bottom and several ceiling holes. The tunnel gradually narrows towards the exit. It’s a stunning dive for experienced divers.

Dive Center

Highlights

  • Sangat Island Dive Resort is located near well-preserved Japanese WWII wrecks
  • Dive center was re-built in 2018, now offering state-of-the-art facilities
  • Various reefs accessible for different levels of experience
  • Year-round water temperatures ranging from 28 to 30 degrees
  • Great visibility - between seven and 30 meters

Description

Sangat Island Dive Resort offers a comprehensive on-site dive facility, re-built in 2018 and ready to serve your needs.

The resort is an ideal location for technical and wreck diving. Since the majority of neighboring wrecks have settled at a depth of 25 to 40 meters, most are still in quite good condition and penetrations are possible – indeed, encouraged – for experienced technical and wreck divers.

Reef diving is also very good, providing delicate habitats for countless varieties of coral, coloured tropical fish, lobster, crab, seahorses, turtles and a large number of pelagic species including tuna, barracuda and spanish mackerel.

The house reef itself is an officially recognized and protected marine sanctuary and originates one to three meters from the surface and slopes to a maximum depth of 18 to 28 meters. Dive destinations located close to the open ocean waters and land-locked bodies of water have the best visibility.

Ideal for eco-conscious travelers, Sangat Island Dive Resort is totally off the public electricity grid and is fully independent when it comes to electricity and water supply. The resort is the only one in the Philippines that is 100% powered by solar energy and uses diesel-powered generators only during cloudy days.
