Best handled by a local Panglao dive operator because the site is a boat-access wall drift with a tunnel.
Arco Point is a boat-accessed wall drift in Panglao with a small tunnel, a blue-hole feel, and reef sections that mix soft coral, ledges, and macro life. Current can run from mild to medium-strong, so the dive pays off most when the drift and briefing line up with the day. It is a good fit for buoyant beginners who want a first wall dive, but it also rewards experienced divers who like current and small reef species.
