Best of Visayas
1 / 1
The Visayas route covers the best diving locations in the central Philippines. Walls with soft corals, black volcanic sands, and incredible biodiversity — each dive site on this route is unique. Thresher sharks, huge sardine schools, sea turtles, trevallies, and whale sharks make up the main spectrum of encounters. The route is flexible and depends on weather conditions: the captain chooses the optimal path after departure. Possible stops include the islands of Malapascua, Anda, Pamilacan, Balicasag, and Olango. Unique macro life includes scorpionfish and harlequin fish, making the route attractive for macro photography enthusiasts.
