Carnatic Shoal
Why dive here
Carnatic Shoal is a pinnacle dive where divers can encounter sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Carnatic Shoal in Palawan offers a straightforward dive, often with good visibility. We've seen various reef fish darting amongst the corals, which are generally healthy. It's a relaxed spot, decent for an easy afternoon dive or for those looking to get comfortable again in the water after a break. Not a site for big pelagics, but consistently pleasant.
