Trip Report |
|
Cebu has been blessed with
some of the best diving in the world and since 2006 the area
around Moalboal has been declared a marine park. The islands
warm crystal clear waters, excellent visability, steep reef walls
or gently slopping bottoms team with over 2,000 different species
of fish makes the area a divers heaven all year round! The abundance of
soft and hard coral is staggering and all the weird and wonderful
macro critters make this part of the world perfect for underwater
photography. There is a sunken aeroplane at one site and a cave
system at another and during February to May Whale Sharks migrate
through the Straits that surround Cebu. With so much to discover,
Cebus reefs should not be missed!!
From the Dive
Centre in the Kasai Village you can expect the following dives:-
House Reef
Right in front of the diveshop. Our house reef offers a rich
variety of hard and soft corals and a huge variety of marine
creatures. A great place for night-dives and beginners wishing
to take up scuba diving. Many of our Scuba courses are conducted
in this area.
Tongo Point
Lots of caves and crevices here, turtles are frequently seen
in addition to nudibranchs and many species of shells.Sharks
can also be seen with increasing frequency.This spot offers good
diving for both the beginner and more experienced diver.
Tuble Reef
A wall dive with a rich variety of soft corals, here you find
many shells, big fan corals and plenty of colorful fish.
White Beach
This site has soft corals, gorgonians and sea fans. Here you
can also see a lot of pelagic. fish and if you are really lucky
you might spot a pilot whale. The beach is really beautiful and
unspoiled if you wish you can have a picnic or barbecue on the
beach after your dive. White beach is a very popular site for
parties after a night dive too!
Ronda Bay
Along the coast going north you find Ronda Bay, the newest divespot
around Moalboal. You also find a small sanctuary here that is
quite wellpreserved. Being a sandy area there are chances of
spotting Rays here. Also lots of softcorrals and sea pens.
Sunken Island
This underwater island raises up from the ocean depths to 25m
in the middle of Tanon Strait. As the site can be difficult to
locate quickly, we always bring a local fisherman who can find
it easily. When you descend from the surface down into the deep
blue water you only have the decent line as a reference point
until you can see the top of the island looming ahead of you
at approximately 20 m depth. Currents can be strong here so it
is not a dive for the inexperienced. A lot of pelagic marine
life passes by here including schools of tuna, barracuda, manta
rays and (if youre lucky) a whaleshark. Frogfish and lion fish
are usually in abundance at the top of the island.
Pescador Island
(Moalboal Marine Park)- is now a protected area. This giant mushroom
rises from the seabed at 30m-40m. The underwater photographer
has a marine paradise here.This is perhaps the best known dive
site in the area. The famous "cathedral" is best dived
at noon when light streams down into this giant underwater formation.
Sharks are regularly seen at depths below 30 m. In the months
of December to March you can see a big school of Hammerhead sharks
if you go deep enough. Macro photography is very good at shallower
depths.Pescador has 450 species of hard coral, probably the most
diverse in the world.
Umbrella Point
400 metres after white beach, it is here you can dive on the
airplane wreck. It has a nice wall and most of the dives in this
area are drift dives. Look for turtles and Napoleon wrasses.
The area between 15 meters up to 5 meters is covered with different
kinds of hard and soft corals. |
