Templer Bank
Why dive here
Templer Bank is a reef dive where divers can encounter sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Templer Bank is one of those Palawan sites that can surprise you. It’s a good spot for finding bigger pelagics, though you'll need to keep an eye out as currents can pick up. We've seen reef sharks cruise by and decent schools of snapper holding formation. It’s a site for divers who enjoy a drift and the chance of a larger encounter.
