Dive-site story
Located along the quiet northwestern coastline of Panglao Island, Momo Beach provides a mix of gentle sloping reef and deeper drop-offs. The shallows feature seagrass beds and scattered coral heads before the substrate slopes downward into a wall structured with hard and soft corals. Due to its position, it often serves as an alternative dive spot when southern winds make popular sites around Alona choppy.
