Palawan

Palawan is one of the favorite spots on the planet, with numerous beautiful reefs and wreck dives. Palawan is not only beautiful, but it also offers a variety and plentiful marine life, thanks to WWII shipwreck swim-throughs and crystal clear waters and lagoons.

Because Palawan is such a huge island, dive spots may be found all throughout El Nido and Coron. Expect to visit a variety of shipwrecks here, some of which will require two full dives to thoroughly explore. Each wreck offers amazing swim-throughs into massive engine rooms while swimming with turtles and large groupers.

Although Barracuda Lake is not visually appealing due to the dearth of marine life, diving in Coron's famous lake is an out-of-this-world experience. Swimming through vast caves and cathedrals while diving through an almost alien-like environment of underwater rock formations is possible here.

Destacado Reef, Dilumacad Underwater Tunnel, and North Rock are some other interesting places to visit.

• Highlights: Apart from the wreck dives, the visibility is pretty fantastic and the amount of fish and corals are great. In some areas, you can also see some dugongs or sea manatees.
