About this site

Danao Wall is a dive site near Alona Beach on Panglao Island, Philippines, situated at the western end of the local site lineup and described as the furthest west dive site in the area. The wall's shallowest point begins at around 5–8 metres, dropping sharply and vertically to 25 metres, where a flat sand reef top at 8 metres provides a useful platform. The wall extends over a long horizontal distance and is covered in sea fans and good coral, with fish life comparable to Panglao's more celebrated north coast sites.

Marine life on the wall includes banded sea snakes, which are common here, as well as giant frogfish, trumpetfish, angelfish, pygmy seahorse, sweetlips, triggerfish, turtles, and octopus. Whale sharks may pass by in season.

Danao Wall typically carries a light current, making for an easy drift along the wall, and water temperature ranges from 25–30°C. The site is relatively quiet compared to busier Panglao sites, so divers often have the wall largely to themselves. It is accessed by boat, usually as a third dive on Balicasag Island trips. The site suits intermediate divers, though its flat sandy reef top also makes it a useful technical training site.
