Pamilacan Island Diving
Diving is available for both resort guests and visitors staying elsewhere.
Pamilacan Island offers beautiful coral reefs, diverse marine life, and a more relaxed diving experience. Compared with Balicasag Island, it generally attracts fewer divers.
Visitors can enjoy drift diving, coral gardens, and opportunities to encounter schools of large fish and sea turtles.
Unlike Balicasag, Pamilacan does not require an advance permit application for diving excursions. A reservation request is still required so that we can check availability and make arrangements.
