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) - Erics Cave offers some of Visayas's richest cave diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, October.
Erics Cave in the Visayas is a straightforward cave dive. You'll navigate through a series of chambers, light filtering in from the entrance for much of the dive, revealing sponges and the occasional crab hiding in crevices. It's a good option for divers looking to try their hand at overhead environments without deep penetration. We’d suggest it for those comfortable with enclosed spaces but new to cave diving.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
