Why dive here
With 496+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, bull sharks and octopuses - Masaplod South offers some of Dumaguete's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest June, July, October.
Masaplod South offers a gentle drift along a sloping reef. We've often spotted blue-spotted rays tucked under ledges and juvenile sweetlips schooling among the smaller corals. It's a relaxed dive, good for photographers keen on macro subjects, or those just looking for an easy hour underwater. Expect a consistent current, nothing too challenging, but enough to keep you moving.
