Why dive here
Wood Bank is a reef dive where divers can encounter sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest May, June, July.
Wood Bank offers a good drift dive along a slope in northern Palawan. We often see schools of jacks and tuna cruising past, with the occasional eagle ray gliding by in the deeper sections. The current can pick up, making it suitable for divers comfortable with moderate drifts. It's a straightforward dive for those looking to cover some ground and spot pelagics.
