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) - Cordova White Sand offers some of Visayas's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, October.
Cordova White Sand is exactly what it sounds like, a gentle slope of fine white sand, stretching down to unknown depths. It’s a macro hunter’s delight, ideal for patient divers keen on spotting small critters. Think pipefish, tiny crabs, and maybe a nudibranch or two if you're lucky. If you prefer reefs, this isn't your spot, but for muck diving enthusiasts, it’s a calm, rewarding dive.
