Brown Bank in Palawan is a quiet spot, often overlooked for flashier sites, but it holds its own. We’ve found good numbers of reef fish here – angelfish, butterflyfish, and various wrasses just going about their day. It’s a good choice for divers wanting a relaxed dive, maybe a second or third dive of the day, with a decent chance of spotting something interesting without the crowds. Visibility tends to be solid, making for comfortable exploration.
