Recommended diving sites in Cebu, Philippines

Cebu has always been a good place to dive. If you like diving, you must not miss it. For friends who like diving, Bian Xiao will recommend this Cebu diving resort to everyone!

The traffic from Mactaniisland to MactanIsland is very convenient, because Cebu International Airport is on this island. Just take a taxi from the airport to the diving spot. It is also connected to Cebu City by two bridges, making it convenient to go anywhere.

Mactan Island is a great diving spot in Cebu. Compared with Duma Gaidi and Mint, the traffic here is more convenient. It takes only 20 minutes to dive from the airport, and the underwater waters are calmer. Compared with Duma Gaidi and Mint Island, it is less affected by the weather.

In addition, it is very convenient to take the diving certificate in Cebu, where the waters are stable and suitable for courses, many cliffs are convenient for arranging courses, and there are often large-scale marine life cruises, which makes diving courses full of surprises.

If Nalusuansland thinks Mactan is too close to the city, it is suggested to choose NalusuanIsland not far from it. The beaches here will be flooded at high tide, when Nalusuan was less than a football field. After the low tide, the beach will be exposed, and the island will be many times larger at once.

Snorkeling is comparable to Sipadan and the Great Barrier Reef! Diving by the pontoon bridge can experience the feeling of "swimming by fish".

Mo Bao, also known as "Moal Bull", is located at the southwest end of Cebu Island, which is a resort and diving paradise. The island is calm, gentle and carefree.

Hikers first discovered Mo Bao. At present, the residents of the island mainly depend on fishing and agriculture for their livelihood. This small town with only one street has the most shocking landscape. It is obviously a small sardine, but it can roll up a big storm in the sea together. Not far away, PascadorIsland is recognized as the best diving place in the world, which only takes 10 minutes.

OslobWhaleSharkWatching is located at the southernmost tip of Cebu. This used to be a small fishing village. A few years ago, whale sharks were found in the nearby shallow sea, and villagers fed them. Whale sharks come almost every day. Later, it became famous for whale sharks and gathered divers from all over the world who wanted to see whale sharks.

To see whale sharks, you should go to Tanwan Town. The scenery along the way to Tan 'awan Town is very beautiful, and you can also enjoy the indigo water. You can choose not to go into the water to watch whale sharks, or you can snorkel or dive deep. If you don't have a diving license, you can't choose deep diving. Whale sharks usually move in the morning, and the locals will feed them, so you can watch whale sharks at close range by boat.

It will be more professional to watch whale sharks here. Whale shark snorkeling is organized by national parks. Take the Tu Tu bus from Whale Shark Wharf, and you can reach Sumilong Wharf in about 20 minutes, opposite the Island Hotel. Note that the snorkeling location in Sumeru Island is around the island, not the hotel. Compact can also arrange a one-day tour, the same day to and from Cebu.

It's much quieter here than in other places, because there are fewer commercial elements.

Daoyin Town, which seems backward, has very professional diving equipment. Daoyin Diving Area is basically a place known to people who know something about diving, and its reputation need not be repeated at all. Moreover, the waters here are calm, which is very suitable for beginners who have experienced deep diving and just got a diving license. It is recommended to choose two dives. Shipwrecks and coral gardens have their own characteristics. Let's experience it together.

② Apo Island

Chasing turtles on Apo Island is the only way for beginners to dive, and it is not so easy for seemingly slow-moving turtles to catch up when they are flopping on the bottom of the sea.

These diving spots are not bad. If you come to Cebu to travel here, you might as well visit these places!
