    Pamilacan Island offers a straightforward dive, often a drift along sloping reefs and walls. We usually spot resident turtles munching on corals and schools of jacks hanging in the mild current. Keep an eye out for occasional pelagics passing through the deeper sections. It's a relaxed dive, good for those who appreciate consistent reef activity without too much fuss.
