Sandy Shoal
Why dive here
Sandy Shoal is a pinnacle dive where divers can encounter sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Sandy Shoal, just off Palawan, is a muck diving spot for those who enjoy the hunt. We’ve spent hours here, meticulously exploring the sandy and muddy bottom. Keep an eye out for nudibranchs, gobies, and the occasional pipefish camouflaged against the substrate. It’s not a coral reef, but if small, interesting creatures are your thing, you'll likely enjoy it.
