Protected Area
Island of Panglao; Mangrove areas from the west of Loboc River to the municipality of Laya Mangrove Swamp Forest Reserve
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) - Lighthouse offers some of Visayas's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, October.
The Lighthouse site in the Visayas offers a relaxed dive suitable for intermediate divers. We often find a good mix of smaller reef fish here, particularly in the shallows near the sandy slope. It's a nice drift, generally, making it a good option if you’re looking for a low-key afternoon dive to spot some macro life.
