Pescador East

Pescador East is one of the dive sites around Pescador Island, a small limestone islet off Moalboal on the west coast of Cebu in the Visayas region of the Philippines, a short banca ride from the Panagsama Beach area. It is rated a beginner dive with a maximum depth of around 15 metres. Divers have reported a good range of small reef life here, including blackspotted puffers, Papuan and clown tobies, Clark's, tomato and ocellaris anemonefish, giant frogfish, snowflake moray eels, blue linckia sea stars, and squat anemone shrimp. It suits divers looking for a slower, macro-focused dive rather than deep or drift diving. Boats from the mainland shore typically approach the island directly to reach it.
