Palawan Adventures & Recreational Activities
Scuba Diving
Marine sports and scuba diving at Honda Bay where colorful shallow reefs abound, and where a mangrove offers opportunities for water sports. Get a thrill out of shark sightings in the waters of Tubbattaha. Aqua sports like jetski and kayak can be enjoyed at a variety of resorts and recreation centers island-wide.
Palawan is the best-kept diving secret in Asia, offers a stunning collection of WWII shipwrecks, and despite coral reefs, wine blue seas, white sand beaches, and waving palm trees, the area remains almost unvisited.
Most of the visitors to Busuanga are divers, and they come to explore the shipwrecks. These were thoughtfully supplied by U.S. Admiral William Halsey on September 24, 1944, at 9:00 am. Sensing that the area would one day be a mecca for scuba divers, Halsey and the American fleet sank 24 Japanese warships, 12 of them in conveniently shallow water, in a wide arc around the south side of Busuanga Island.
