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) - Marine Station offers some of Visayas's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, October.
Marine Station offers a pretty straightforward dive. You'll find a sloping sandy bottom with scattered corals, a good spot for spotting critters like robust ghost pipefish or even a flamboyant cuttlefish if you're patient. It’s an easygoing dive, generally calm and suits photographers who like to take their time looking for the smaller stuff. We think it’s a good option for a second dive of the day.
