Why dive here
校尉暗沙 is a reef dive where divers can encounter sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
校尉暗沙, or Second Lieutenant Shoal, is one of those spots off Palawan where you drop in and see what shows up. The site itself is a mixed bag of reef patches and sandy bottoms, home to the usual suspects: surgeonfish, parrotfish, and the occasional turtle passing through. It’s a good choice for a relaxed afternoon dive, no major currents to contend with, suitable for anyone looking for a quiet swim rather than big pelagic action. Visibility tends to be decent, around 15-20 meters on a good day.
