Western Reef is a reef dive where divers can encounter sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
The Western Reef in Palawan gives us a good look at typical South China Sea corals. It’s a solid spot for divers who appreciate healthy, if not spectacular, reef ecosystems. We generally find a range of smaller reef fish here, going about their business. It’s a reliable dive for a relaxed afternoon.
