Pangalisan is a Bunaken wall dive with drift current and rich reef life.
Pangalisan is a Bunaken National Park wall dive with a shallow reef flat, a steep coral wall, and a drift-prone flow that can change quickly with wind and tide. Expect dense reef growth, strong macro life, and regular sightings of schooling fish along the wall, with bigger visitors possible when the current lines up. It suits divers who are comfortable in moving water and want a site that rewards good buoyancy and a patient pace.
