This dive site, Duli Beach, is a wild and serene beach located approximately 12 miles north of El Nido, Palawan. Primarily a snorkeling and freediving destination due to its shallow maximum depth of 3 meters, it offers easy shore access. While the immediate beach area for snorkeling is described as poor, the western end of the beach, where rocks and corals are found, serves as the main attraction for marine life viewing. Navigation is straightforward, staying around the reef and rock formations.
The marine life at Duli Beach is concentrated around the coral and rock formations, particularly at its western end. Divers and snorkelers can expect to encounter various reef fish species common to the Philippines, as well as a variety of hard and soft corals that provide shelter and food for smaller marine creatures.
The best time to visit Duli Beach aligns with the dry season in Palawan, generally from December to May, offering calmer seas and optimal visibility for snorkeling and freediving. This quiet spot is ideal for those seeking a tranquil experience away from more crowded sites. Freedivers will appreciate the shallow depths for extended bottom time, while snorkelers can enjoy the easily accessible reef life.
