1. Yesterday, we finished talking about the dive sites in Leyte. Today, we’ll add another diving destination in the Visayas region which is Panay Island. Panay Island offers scuba diving opportunities for all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced divers. Snorkeling is also a very popular activity on Panay’s beaches. You will see rich colorful marine life and beautiful hard corals. The beautiful sites were formed by volcanic activities and are only minutes away from shore. Stay tuned for more as we bring you the dive sites in Panay Island. Don’t forget to dive safely and #divesafePH

2. One of the dive sites in Panay Island is the Black Rock. Black Rock sticks out of the water and offers very good diving. The west side is a wall with caves at the bottom, good pelagic fish life and occasionally you may see Hammerhead Sharks. The east side is shallow and sheltered, with canyons, caves and crevices. There are plenty of fishes as well as pelagic species. Another dive site is the Buruanga Point. The reeftop is a gentle slope from 5m to 7m covered in good soft, leathery and stony corals. From 7m the drop-off goes down to 40m where there is a cave. This dive site is good for underwater photography. Don’t forget to dive safely and #divesafePH

3. Earlier we talked about the dive sites in Panay Island. To add more to these is the Dog Drift. This 200m to 300m wall, running north-to-south, drops from 6m to 30m and abounds with caves, holes and crevices. Another dive site is the Nasog Point. The site is a slope from 5m to 35m with boulders and canyons, so that unwary novices may find themselves indulging in saw-tooth diving. The fish life is limited, except when a strong current is running, but there is a good chance of seeing a turtle. But this is a dive to do for its topography – to swim thru the rocks.
