Diving in Moalboal

Travel to southwestern part of Cebu to find Moalboal, which means “bubbling water”. This small village has several dive spots along its coastline, including long, deep walls with stunning marine life such as an extraordinary array of coral, ferns, anemones, sponges, various brightly colored fish, groupers, turtles, and sea snakes. Explore small caverns and plenty of swim throughs, and admire colorful reef creatures. The must-visit spot in Moalboal is the world-famous “sardine run” where millions of sardines swim and form different shapes.
