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) - Padre Burgos Pier offers some of Visayas's richest muck diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, October.
Padre Burgos Pier is a classic muck dive. You'll spend your time here exploring the sandy, silty bottom under and around the pier, searching for critters. Look out for frogfish, pipefish, and various nudibranchs hiding amongst the debris. It’s not a coral garden, but if you love macro life and a slow, methodical hunt, this site is for you.
