About this site
Washing Machine lies off Palawan in the Philippines, over a reef reaching a maximum depth of 18 metres. It's rated a beginner dive, though divers have reported currents there that can turn strong and unpredictable, which is likely how the site earned its name. Conditions can shift quickly, so it's worth checking with local operators on the day before entering the water.
