Overview

35 minutes by boat towards Pamilakan Island.

The underwater island is home to poisonous sea snakes, despite a powerful poisonous apparatus, sea snakes are practically not dangerous to humans. The fact is that sea snakes use their formidable weapon only when hunting and only in extreme cases use it for self-defense. If the sea snake is carefully handled without causing pain, it will never bite, but this is not recommended.

According to various estimates, the snake population here in 2017 reached several thousands. However, diving here is complicated because of the strong underwater current. All this together makes this dive site one of the most extreme around Panglao Island.

Here, in addition to sea snakes, you will find: beautiful relief, many soft corals, sea sponges and anemones, shrimps, crabs, sea urchins!
