This March El Nido was invaded by a cold current bringing lots of plancton. Visibility was much reduced as plancton fluctuated for several days at mid depth, slowly depositing to the bottom day by day. Else than this period, I've always dove in an aquarium in El Nido area. However macro life was still very present we could also spot unusual species of nudis in the area.
