Dive-site story
Channel Drift sits in the passage between the southern tip of Boracay and mainland Panay. Tidal flow funnels through this strait, creating an energetic drift dive over coral-encrusted rock formations, small ledges, and sandy channels. Divers ride the current alongside pelagic predators hunting in the moving water.
Fast drift dive along underwater ridges and gullies
Regular sightings of reef sharks and schools of jacks in the current
Expansive coral formations lining the channel bottom

Seasonality
The northeast monsoon brings calmer surface conditions and the clearest water to southern Boracay dive sites.
