Sabang/La Laguna bays

Sheltered from the ESE-SE wind (7-8 kn; a gusty squall possible ~13:00-14:00). Light showers by day (under 1 mm per hour); heavier rain and possible thunderstorms 19:00-21:00 (~6 mm), so the night dive is weather-dependent.

Escarceo Point

5 days after full moon, tides easing toward neaps (last quarter Mon 2 Nov). Low 08:24, high 14:48. Early flood from ~08:45; mid-flood strongest late morning; best window is the last of the flood about 14:00-14:30 into the 14:48 high slack. At 13:30 the flood is still running. Seas ~0.25 m.

SE walls

ESE-SE wind blows onto these walls; seas ~0.25 m, but gusts 20-27 kn from late morning into early afternoon. Pink Wall toward the 14:48 high; Kilima Steps toward the 17:47 low. Not a night option.

Ernie's Cave/Dungon Wall

Flood builds after the 08:24 low; easiest from 13:30 toward the 14:48 high. Showers by day are light.

Verde Island

Verde rain chance 67-94% from 11:00 to 15:00 with a gusty squall possible ~13:00-14:00, and the 14:48 high slack falls outside the usual slots. Low slack (08:24) is too early for most boats. Skip Verde Sat.

West side

ESE wind is offshore here, but seas are ~0.4 m by day and build to ~0.5 m by evening. Gusty early afternoon. Small ebb after the 14:48 high.

Tides

Daytime range ~0.8 m (08:24 low to 14:48 high); the afternoon ebb is tiny (~0.1 m), then a big evening flood. Slack can differ from tide times; confirm with your dive op.

Tides easing toward neaps, so currents are weaker than earlier in the week, but the Verde Island Passage still runs hard on the evening flood. Moon below the horizon at 18:00; rises ~66% lit at 22:28, so the night dive is dark.

Visibility (estimate)

Sabang bays

8-12 m

Outer sites, flood

12-18 m

Afternoon, after showers

10-15 m

Estimate only (Fair): Fri rain ~2.5 mm, mostly in the evening, and Sat daytime showers are light (most of the ~10 mm falls after 19:00), so daytime viz should be similar to Fri; ESE wind-waves ~0.25 m; weaker currents toward neaps stir less sediment. Viz may drop after heavier rain Sat night. No dated diver viz reports found.
