Location:
Located in the heart of the Philippines, Cebu sits in the Visayas region — surrounded by clear tropical waters and an incredible diversity of marine life.
Why it’s a top dive destination:
Cebu offers a mix of vibrant coral reefs, steep drop-offs, and some of the most spectacular natural fish aggregations in the world. The coastal town of Moalboal is famous for its massive sardine schools, where millions of silvery fish move as one, creating a living, shifting cloud above the reef.
 
Highlights:
Moalboal’s Sardine Run — year-round and shore-accessible
Colorful reefs and turtles along Panagsama and Pescador Island
Macro life and night dives along the coast
Easy access to nearby dive spots like Malapascua or Dauin
 
Fun Fact:
Moalboal’s sardine run is one of the few in the world that’s permanent — the huge school stays year-round, right off the beach, offering a breathtaking spectacle without needing to chase migrations.
