About this spot
The scuba diving capital of Luzon and one of the world's top macro and muck-diving destinations, sitting at the edge of the Verde Island Passage, often called the center of marine shorefish biodiversity. Divers come for nudibranchs, frogfish and colorful reefs; non-divers can snorkel, do intro dives or island-hop to Sombrero Island. Dozens of dive resorts line the coast, and it is only about 3 hours from Manila.
