About this site
Sampaguita lies along the Moalboal coastline on the western side of Cebu Island in the Visayas region of the Philippines, part of a stretch known for a narrow coral shelf that drops into deeper water just offshore. The site itself is shallow, with a maximum depth of around 5 metres, and is rated a beginner dive. Divers have reported barracuda, batfish, and sea turtles here. Sites along this stretch are typically reached by short boat rides from Panagsama Beach.
