About this site
Pasandigan Beach sits on Cadlao Island within the El Nido municipality of northern Palawan, part of the Bacuit archipelago, and is reached by boat from the town of El Nido. The dive site here is a shore entry over a sandy bottom, reaching a maximum depth of around 18 metres and rated a beginner dive. Seahorses are a regular find on the sand, and divers have also reported clownfish, frogfish, ghost pipefish, hairy frogfish, lionfish, and pufferfish, making it a spot favoured for muck-style critter hunting rather than big reef structure.
