About this site

Pescador Island is a small islet off the coast of Moalboal, on Cebu's west coast in the Philippines, and a well known dive site in that stretch of water. It's a wall dive reaching a maximum depth of around 18 metres, with light current and good visibility, and is considered beginner-friendly. Frogfish and scorpionfish are a regular find along the wall, and divers have also reported anthias, barracuda, butterflyfish, clownfish, hammerhead sharks, leaf scorpionfish, nudibranchs, reef sharks, snapper, and tuna around the island.
