Pamilacan Island Day Trips

Pamilacan island is another good day trip destination, but it’s a bit further than Balicasag so it’s more weather dependent. The reef is nice there too with chances to get some decent current and bigger stuff. We usually do 3 dives trip for Pamilacan so you’ll do 2 at Pamilacan and another one on the way back to Alona. It’ll be done by bangka boat which leaves at 8:45am and returns at around 4pm.

There will be coffee, tea, water and some snacks on boat for the day trips but won’t be any actual lunch. You can bring your own lunch if you like.

Maximum divemaster to divers ratio is 1:4.

Dive Site Description:

Pamilacan Island is about 1hr boat ride from Alona Beach. The island actually has 5 dive sites, is a macro lovers’ paradise, and excellent for drift dives with occasional strong currents. Each site offers something a little different and with a little bit of luck, it’s possible to see schooling Jack fish and Barracuda. There also have even been sightings of oceanic Mantas and whale sharks. It is a testing, but rewarding dive site and we recommend that divers are experienced for this location.
