DIMIPAC – An island off the northern tip of Busuanga, Palawan. This is an Ancestral Domain granted to the local fishing tribe called ‘Tagbanua.’ A fishing village, Dimipac Island retains the healthy condition of its reefs because of the local’s attitude allowing only hook & line fishing making it one of the most sustainable fishing grounds around Palawan. It is an hour & a half by local outrigger boat from Club Paradise. The reef stretches 2 kilometers east & west with the middle divide connected to a sandy beach where the village is located.
The reef system starts off at 3 meters depth, It is quite common to encounter schooling banner fish, scorpion fish, stone fish, green turtles, unicorn surgeon fish and harlequin ghost pipe fishes. A trained diver’s eye can spot a camouflaged leaf scorpion fish wedged between staghorn corals. A manta occasionally passes by.
