The place of Palawan is becoming more popular to travellers in and out of the country. It's not only popular because of its lovely beaches but with its impressive walls, admirable coral reefs, astounding wrecks and beautiful coral reefs in clear blue waters. There's no doubt that divers would not settle for this very exquisite and enchanting place. Some of the best diving is to be found offshore where the proximity to deep water and currents means more chances of sighting pelagics. Around the the islands on the north of Palawan, strong currents bring in the big mantas, looking for food. Even in the south, where few divers venture, the reefs are in good condition and support abundant marine life. Attractive underwater colors and abundant marine life make divers come back for more in Palawan waters. For them diving has become more exciting. They can take shots of different colorful big and small fishes, swim with the very amusing schools of fishes, touch the rough and smooth corals, and more.

Everything underwater is very remarkable. The best diving around Palawan is in Honda Bay, south of the city.
