Nat-Nat

El Nido's most consistently praised site across every source consulted — a shallow reef near town built around a sea-turtle cleaning station. Green and hawksbill turtles gather in numbers, small whitetip and blacktip reef sharks patrol the margins, and sandy lanes between coral terraces hide blue-spotted stingrays, nudibranchs and the occasional resident jawfish. A regular training-dive site that doubles as one of Palawan's most photographed reefs, with a wider 28 m drift-dive variant on calmer days.
