water sports
scuba-diving & snorkelling
The abundant and beautiful reef waters that surround Pamalican and neighbouring islands are tailor-made for snorkelling and diving. A complimentary snorkelling and fish-feeding trip is scheduled daily. For novice scuba divers, Amanpulo is a welcoming retreat, with mirror-smooth seas in front of the Beach Club and a gentle drop-off to deeper water. For certified divers, there are a number of fine sites on both sides of Pamalican, all within easy reach by dive boat. Eureka, Amanpulo’s dive company, is a PADI Dive Centre offering courses ranging from introductory to dive master courses. All equipment is provided by Amanpulo’s Dive Shop. Underwater lights are also available. Divers must be at least 10 years of age.
Dives range from the House Reef (that faces the Beach Club and is a good site for beginners), to the Windmill with its plentiful coral and fish going down to 37m and The Tip, where the reef descends from 11 to 29m with generous displays of barrel sponge, hard and soft coral, black-tip reef sharks, tuna, wahoo and manta rays.
Amanpulo features a choice of five-night dive experiences that include boat fees, dive equipment, daily breakfast and a gourmet picnic lunch. View Amanpulo's Underwater Experience.
windsurfing
Amanpulo is a magnet for novice as well as experienced windsurfers. The island’s sand-bottom blue lagoon, located on the windward side, makes for world-class board sailing from December through April. During this period, the northeast trade winds blow, on average, about 20 knots. Amanpulo’s Windsurf Hut is located under a canopy of trees along Pamalican’s east-coast beach.
sailing
Amanpulo’s fleet includes a twin-hulled Hobie Sports 21, as well as two smaller catamarans and two Lasers. Sailing lessons are available.
fishing
Guests may bottom-fish for snapper and grouper at one of Amanpulo’s favoured fishing spots or troll for wahoo, tuna and mackerel. The resort’s 25ft, centre-console game boat is equipped with a six-line spread for game fishing.
