    Panagsama Beach offers straightforward shore diving right from the sand in Moalboal. We usually find a gentle slope leading to a wall, busy with schooling sardines and the occasional turtle patrolling the shallows. It's a convenient spot for an easy afternoon dive or for divers looking to extend their bottom time without a boat trip.
