Diving in Mactan

Explore diving in Mactan

This reef is the perfect training site for all recreational PADI courses. 

The reef is easy to access through a stable concrete stairs which take you to between hip and chest deep of sea water (depending on the tide). The gentle slope allows for you to equalize, especially if you are a beginner. 

A few meters away from the entry point, or a few kick cycles away, it offers a spectacular view of the coral wall that drops all the way to 24m, and then to 30m, and to 40m and beyond. The edge of the wall is usually around 10m to 12m which is still ideal, even for Discover Scuba Diver/participants.

You can't ask for anything more suitable for a training site than this.
