Agus Bay, also known as Hadsan, is a scuba diving site in the waters off Mactan Island, Cebu, Philippines, reached by a roughly 10-minute boat ride covering approximately 4 kilometres from the shore.
The dive follows a wall draped in vibrant soft corals, hard corals, sponges, sea ferns, and anemones, making for a colourful and visually rich dive along the reef structure. Visibility typically runs around 20 metres (60 feet).
Marine life at Agus Bay is notably diverse: divers regularly encounter cuttlefish, nudibranchs, mantis lobster, pipefish, mandarin fish, and puffer fish, while the tiny pygmy seahorse rewards those with a keen eye. Large shoals of butterfly fish, angel fish, and sardines, along with many other colourful reef fish, move through the site, and gorgonians add to the wall's texture.
The site is a boat dive and is well suited to those taking underwater photography courses, given the accessible conditions and abundance of small, photogenic subjects along the wall.
