Local clock times; heights about mean sea level. On open coasts the times are usually within a quarter of an hour; in bays, estuaries and on the Gulf of Mexico they can be an hour or more out. Slack water, the safest time to dive where there is current, is about half an hour either side of each high and low.

The coast faces NW: swell from the NW reaches it, and wind from the SE blows out to sea. 28 dive centres or shops within 10 km, the nearest 1.3 km away. The sea is about 28°C in January, its coldest month (3 mm wetsuit), and 30°C in June, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). The town to stay in is Panglao. Within 5 km we also list 1 dive site.

What you might see

Too few open records near this site to list its animals. Ask a dive centre what you are likely to see.

This week: visibility about 20 m, about usual for the month (satellite plankton reading, 24 Oct). Estimated from the month's typical visibility and this week's satellite chlorophyll against the site's normal; heavy rain before a dive can still muddy it.

The current and the life no free forecast gives. Ask a dive centre before you book.
