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) - Guinbadilan Atoll offers some of Visayas's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, October.
Guinbadilan Atoll offers a solid dive in the Visayas, with a good chance to spot some interesting fish that aren't always front and center. We've seen schools of Indian mackerel here, glistening in the light, alongside the distinctive Longnose Trevally and the vibrant Batavian Parrotfish. It's a healthy coral reef, perfect for a relaxed exploration rather than a high-octane drift. If you enjoy identifying a wider range of reef fish and appreciate a dive where you can take your time, Guinbadilan Atoll is a worthwhile stop.
