    CharacterReef dive

    Ganges South Reef is a sprawling coral garden just off the coast of Palawan. We’ve found it’s a good spot for a relaxed drift, keeping an eye out for reef sharks patrolling the deeper sections and schools of jacks swirling in the blue. The currents here can pick up, so it's best suited for divers comfortable with a bit of a ride. It’s a solid choice for an afternoon dive when you’re looking for reliable reef action.
