Observation Rock
Why dive here
Observation Rock is a pinnacle dive where divers can encounter sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Observation Rock, off Palawan, gives you a solid rock reef to explore, dropping down to about 20 meters. We’ve found it’s a good spot for spotting the usual reef fish, like fusiliers and triggerfish, hanging out amongst the boulders. The visibility here can be decent on a good day, making it a reliable choice for a straightforward dive. It’s a site that suits divers looking for an easy-going swim without strong currents.
