Here you will find some information and pictures about the dive site of the SS Panay<\/p>\n

Before starting, a few hints from the responsible diving instructor.<\/p>\n

Large wrecks and thus also the SS Panay have a magical attraction for many divers. The adventure and holiday spirit allows many inexperienced divers, whether out of ignorance or overconfidence, to quickly become careless.
\nThe dive at the wreck of the SS Panay takes place at the 40m mark, and is therefore at the limit for scuba divers. The dive should only be prepared for advanced and experienced divers.<\/p>\n

So please, divers, especially those of you who have just begun your dive career or have a bad feeling from the beginning, remember what you have learned in training, use your mind and do not allow yourself to go on adventures for which you are still not ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

Dive Site Description:<\/span><\/h4>\n

The SS Panay is approached by all dive centers in the area of Sipalay.<\/span><\/p>\n

The wreck is upright at about 41 m deep (135 ft) at the bottom of the Campomanes Bay and can easily be reached in a short time by boat. The general amount of divers is comparatively low.<\/span>
\nThe visibility can fluctuate greatly even in the short term, but is generally described as rather moderate. From 2 m to 30 m (6 ft-100 ft) everything is possible. However, if I had to commit myself generally, I would specify between 5 meters and 15 meters (15 ft-50 ft).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Geographische

The general diving conditions are usually good due to the sheltered location in the bay, even in bad weather. A light current is possible but rather rare.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve made a simple dive site map to overview. A wreck is subject to constant change, and I have not drawn all iron girders and coral. The map may therefore differ slightly in detail. The depths show the average expected depth.<\/span>
\nThe maximum possible tidal difference in the Campomanes Bay is 2.3 m(7 -1\/2 ft).<\/span><\/p>\n
