Why dive here
With 554+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, manta rays and mobula rays (devil rays) - Chameleon offers some of Visayas's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, October.
Chameleon, in the Visayas, gives you a decent wall dive that’s good for a couple of passes. We’ve seen quite a few different nudibranchs tucked into the crevices there, and sometimes a few frogfish if you’re patient and have a good spotter. The visibility is usually pretty solid, making it a reliable choice for a straightforward dive. It’s a good one for macro photographers or divers who just want a relaxed exploration without too much current.
