Hopkins Reef
Why dive here
Hopkins Reef is a reef dive where divers can encounter sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Hopkins Reef gives you a good cross-section of Palawan's hard coral formations. We’ve seen quite a few reef fish here, particularly groups of anthias flitting around the bommies. It’s a pretty easy dive, generally with mild currents, making it a decent option for divers who prefer a relaxed pace and a chance to really observe the smaller reef residents.
