Spectacular Southern Diving

The Visayas area is comprised of the central group of islands between Luzon and Mindanao. It includes the main islands of Bohol, Cebu, Leyte, Negros, Panay and Samar. The country's second major getaway is the Mactan International Airport located in Mactan Island adjacent to Cebu. 

Cebu Sand and Sea

Dubbed as the "Queen City of the South", Cebu offers good dive sites accessible from Mactan Island. Most of the sites are located around adjacent Olango Island. Cabilao Island, however, is considered by many as the best diving site from Mactan. Average depth of dives in these sites is 80 ft. and ideally done from November to June. 20 minutes from Mactan. Olango Island-Mabini Point is known for Hammerhead Sharks.
