Late Start Of The Plankton Season

Diving in the Philippines , the place you can find everything from XS to XL. 7107 Islands, a true Paradise !!! In the northern part of Palawan the main Plankton season is usually from December to April. The temperatures drop by about 2 to 3 degrees Celsius and the water has a lot of food supply from the deep. The visibility is still good and you can see more often the big Plankton feeders. This season it's only happening in mid January and here they are, Whales, big Manta Rays and of course Whale Sharks. On our last two Dugong watching Trips we had not only Dugongs; Whale Sharks and many Manta Rays made all the Guests very happy. Of course the Dugong is still the number one attraction because they are much more seldom to be found during a dive vacation. DF
