    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Dapdap in Visayas offers a straightforward dive, topping out around 20 metres. It’s a good spot for newer divers getting comfortable with their buoyancy, or those looking for a relaxed afternoon dip. You’ll find typical reef inhabitants here, a scattering of small fish and the occasional nudibranch if you look carefully. It’s not a showstopper, but it’s a perfectly pleasant way to spend an hour underwater.
