About this site

This site sits off Mactan Island in Cebu province, in the Visayas region of the central Philippines, an area known for its fringing reefs and short boat rides from resorts along the island's coastline. Mactan's east and south shores host numerous small dive operations that run trips out to nearby reef patches in the Camotes Sea and surrounding channel.
