Cuarteron Reef
Why dive here
Cuarteron Reef is a reef dive where divers can encounter sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Cuarteron Reef, out in the South China Sea, offers a straightforward reef dive for those exploring Palawan’s more remote edges. We’ve found the hard coral structures here to be quite well-developed, with plenty of small reef fish flitting about. It's a decent spot if you’re looking to add another logbook entry to your Palawan trip, though it doesn’t quite deliver the big pelagic action you might hope for. Best suited for divers keen on leisurely reef exploration.
