4. WHITE BEACH This site has soft corals, gorgonians and sea fans. Here you can also see a lot of pelagic. fish and if you are really lucky you might spot a pilot whale! Fish feeding is another popular activity here.....the fish will feed from the palm of your hand.

Daytrips go out when requested to Ronda Bay with a White Beach dive on the way back. Visibility: 5-15m Depth Range: 5-30m Travel Time: 30 minutes 6. SUNKEN ISLAND This underwater island raises up from the ocean depths to 25m in the middle of Tanon Strait. As the site can be difficult to locate quickly, we always bring a local fisherman who can find it easily. When you descend from the surface down into the deep blue water you only have the decent line as a reference point until you can see the top of the island looming ahead of you at approximately 20 m depth. Currents can be strong here so it is not a dive for the inexperienced. A lot of pelagic marine life passes by here including schools of tuna, barracuda, manta rays and (if you´re lucky) a whaleshark. Frogfish and lion fish are usually in abundance at the top of the island. Visibility: 5-40m.Depth Range: 25m. Travel Time: 30 minutes.
7. PESCADOR ISLAND This giant mushroom rises from the seabed at 30m-40m. The underwater photographer has a marine paradise here.This is perhaps the best known dive site in the area. The famous "cathedral" is best dived at noon when light streams down into this giant underwater formation. Sharks are regularly seen at depths below 30 m. In the months of December to March you can see a big school of Hammerhead sharks if you go deep enough.(Don´t worry......no attacks on divers have ever occurred!) Macro photography is very good at shallower depths.Pescador has 650 species of hard coral, probably the most diverse in the world. Visibility: 5-40m. Depth Range: 5-40m Travel Time: 10 minutes. 8. BADIAN ISLAND This island you can see from Panagsama and it boosts a resort. Diving is quite okay though corral growth is slow here. Normally this is a stop on the way back from safaris. Visibility: 5-12m. Depth Range: 5-40m. Travel Time: 10 minutes. |
