#Philippines Pescador Island is an island located on the western coast of the island of Cebu in the Philippines and is part of the municipality of Moalboal. Unlike my other snorkelling trips, snorkelling near Psecador Island was really fantastic and fun. It was an eye-opening trip where we swam near the pool of sardines and fishes and followed the big turtle it was really fun and highly recommended!

One of the best reef diving locations in the Visayas is Moalboal, Philippines, and one of the most stunning dive sites is Pescador Island. The reefs on the tiny island gently slope downwards, with soft coral covering the first 5 to 10 meters offshore before abruptly dropping to 40 meters offshore, forming a hard reef wall. The reefs of Pescador Island are home to hundreds, if not thousands, of different fish species. It is for this reason that adventure trips to Pescador Island are popular among both locals and visitors. #naturalwonders#seafoodfeast#seasidephotoguide#summervacation#beachvacation#urbanexplorer

This is a wonderful area to dive. Best to get there early in the morning before the snorkelers do. Dive south west and south east depending on the current and you will be rewarded with great diving. Go with Dolphin House - the dive experts in Moalboal. #givethanks #givethanks

📍Pescador Island Pescador Island, an uninhabited island in Cebu, Philippines, is famous for its deep waters and freediving spots 〰️ It takes about 30 minutes to get there by boat, so if you get seasick, I recommend you bring some medicine in advance ‼️ It's not a spot with a lot of fish, but it's a fun place to swim because the water is deep 👏 If you're looking for a deep diving course in the Philippines, I recommend the uninhabited Pescador Island 💙 #TravelSupportEvent

When we say there’s a lot to explore around the Cebu province, we seriously mean, a lot. Even most Cebu residents have not roamed around the province yet — but that’s what makes it even more exciting. We always have something to look forward to every time we are free for a getaway with our family and friends, without the need to fly out from the city. And there’s this one place in Cebu where you can make the most out of your one-day trip.

It takes about 3.5 hours by car from the city of Cebu to Moalboal. There is public transportation, or you can choose to charter. Our choice is to report in the city of Cebu. The coral layer of Pescador Island is very shallow and shallow, generally about 2 to 3 meters deep, and many corals and even snorkeling can be encountered. If you are a free diver, it is recommended to go to the edge of the fault, where you can dive deeper and have more biological species. Of course, be careful of the cliff layer on the back of the island, where there is a stream. Sneak into the sea, the colorful underwater world is amazing, and sometimes even admire these free sea creatures between coral reefs, life is so simple. The Panagsama beach is on the main island of Moalboal, with numerous diving centres, restaurants and restaurants, bars and shops on the coast. There is no surprise from the sea. But if you swim 10 meters from the shore to the ocean and then sneak your head under the sea, you will be amazed. The first time I saw the sardine storm was very shocking. I thought it was only in the BBC documentary. I didnt expect to jump off the boat. I was surrounded by sardines. Its hundreds of millions, its impossible to count. Whats more, They changed their formations in groups, and it felt like someone was commanding at the moment, and countless beams of light flashed on the bottom of the sea, and the beautiful could not speak.
