This is one of the most famous diving areas around Mindoro and Pandan Islands. In fact many would claim it to be the
best in Asia, and it is the second largest in the world. Situated 28 kms off the western coast of Mindoro Island, it is 34 kms
long and divided into two lagoon systems, north and south.
Marine fauna is widespread and there are some 400-500 different types of coral. Marine life includes sharks, manta and
stingrays. About 500 different species of fish inhabit these waters. Wall diving is second to none and you won't have to go too
deep to experience a wide variety of life.

Pandan Island itself
to the south, or from

km away. Most live-aboard boats feature the area in their itineraries also.
