This small town on the south-west side of Cebu offers easy access to some of the Philippines best known dive sites.
Moalboal is at the heart of marine bio-diversity in the Philippines and its healthy reefs and steep walls support schools of snappers, jacks, barracudas, sardines, reef sharks, tuna, turtles, passing thresher sharks and even occasional whale sharks.
Critters and macro-life are abundant here and highlights include pygmy seahorses, sardine balls, octopus, nudibranch, electric clams, cuttlefish, ghost pipefish, frogfish and a host of crustaceans.
There are daily flights from Manila to Cebu and from there it is a 90 kilometre / 56 mile bus or taxi ride. Many dive resorts offer transport from Cebu. If you are travelling from Dumaguete take a tricycle to Sibulan port for the ferry to Cebu and continue from there.
