Why dive here
With 496+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, bull sharks and octopuses - Central Visayas offers some of Dumaguete's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest June, July, October.
Alright, Dumaguete’s got its charm, and for many divers, that charm often begins with the Central Visayas. This isn't your flashy coral wall, mind you. Instead, you're drifting over stretches of sand, and that's precisely its appeal. We’ve found pygmy seahorses clinging to gorgonians, and it’s a brilliant spot for nudibranchs if you slow down and really look. It’s a site that rewards patience, perfect for macro enthusiasts and photographers who appreciate the small wonders.
