Aklan

Aklan in the Western Visayas of the Philippines offers warm, sheltered tropical diving along central Panay’s coast and in nearby islands. The region features calm, clear conditions with abundant reef habitats around its offshore sites and island reefs, suitable for recreational diving. Dive centers serve the area from Boracay and nearby towns, and local operators provide access to a variety of sites in the Sulu Sea. Expect diverse coral gardens, schooling fish, and occasional macro life; currents are typically gentle to moderate, with visibility generally good in dry season months. Inland areas contribute cultural and travel appeal, but the diving focus remains coastal reefs and island sites.
