Nares Bank
Why dive here
Nares Bank is a reef dive where divers can encounter sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Nares Bank in Palawan sits out in the open ocean, which means currents can be lively here. That movement brings in larger pelagics – think reef sharks, barracuda, and big tuna cruising by. It’s a site for divers comfortable with drift diving, offering a chance to see some serious action away from the coast. We'd suggest it for experienced divers looking for pelagic encounters.
