Pangalao

Pangalao is a local dive site area off Panglao Island, Philippines. The nearby Panglao town and its southern shores offer straightforward entry points for recreational diving. The site is typically characterized by tropical marine habitats with clear waters and generally gentle conditions, ideal for beginner to intermediate divers depending on currents and weather. Expect shallow reef sections and sandy patches, with common reef-associated species such as damselfish, wrasses, clownfish, and small groupers. Always check local conditions and currents before descent, and plan entry and exit around calm seas. Access is convenient from Panglao town or nearby Dauis, with several dive centers offering guided trips and equipment rental.
