How is the Diving in El Nido?
We dive all year around. High-season is Christmas until end of May when diving courses and accommodation needs to be booked in advance. December and January have constant winds, not all dive sites are accessable. Please read our FAQs to understand the rhythm of nature here. The Bacuit Archipel has dive sites for all levels: shallow beach entries and seagras fields for beginners as well as the famous Dilumacad Tunnel for those with 50+ logged dives. Surrounded by 45 islands the eco-system here is full of life: With 447 species of corals, 888 species of fish and 5 species of marine turtles there is always something new to discover.
Looking for Big Fish?
The best chance to see Manta Rays and Devil Rays is January to April. This is also the season when the Butanding (Whaleshark) is visiting our area and it's possible to spot Whales and Dolphines
passing by our boat as we transit. It's still the open ocean and no Zoo like Oslob in Cebu, where the Whalesharks are fed to stay all year round. Here we can't guarantee any of this but promise
to show you our favorite diving sites in Northern Palawan.
