South Reef
Why dive here
South Reef is a reef dive where divers can encounter sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
South Reef offers a decent coral dive in Palawan. You’ll find the usual suspects of reef fish flitting between the hard and soft corals. It's a relaxed spot, not particularly dramatic, but good for an easy second dive or for newer divers looking to build confidence without strong currents or deep profiles. Expect pleasant but not astounding visibility most of the year.
