Pamilacan Island walls
An island about 17 km southeast of Panglao with drift dives along current-swept walls and slopes covered in black coral, sea fans and gorgonians. Pelagics such as reef sharks and eagle rays are reported, mantas are possible around April–June, and a marine sanctuary protects its northwest side.
