    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Tambuli is a good entry point for divers in the Visayas, especially those looking for a relatively easy dive. The main draw here is the old Cessna plane wreck, sitting at about 20 metres. We've seen lionfish and juvenile groupers making their home in the fuselage. It's not a deep dive, making it suitable for newer divers or those who prefer longer bottom times.
