    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The Caverns in the Visayas offers a distinct dive experience for those comfortable in overhead environments. We've found the series of large chambers and swim-throughs here create an intriguing play of light and shadow, with several exit points always visible. It's a site that appeals to divers looking for something a bit different than reef diving, without the full commitment of a technical cave dive. Expect to navigate through spacious rock formations rather than spotting specific critters.

    Safety Notes

    Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
