About this site
Malapascua Island sits off the northern tip of Cebu in the Visayas region of the Philippines, and the waters around it hold several wreck sites used by dive operators based on the island. The Mogami Maru name points to a Japanese-era vessel in this area, but the details of its sinking and current condition on the seabed are not something to state with confidence here. Boats servicing these sites typically depart from Malapascua's east side, crossing the channel toward the Visayan Sea.
