experience moalboal

Located at the west coast of Cebu, nestles a humble little town of Moalboal, and three kilometers from the town center, is the sleepy coastal village of Panagsama beach, homing to a small community of unexploited locals and friendly foreign divers. Moalboal is known for diving yet accomodation and food is affordable.

Moalboal’s exciting dive sites made it an extraordinary diving destination in the Visayas. Apart from its unique location and its lovely people, visiting divers usually get magnetized by the staggering life form decking out the inclined wall right by the shore of Panagsama beach. The dive starts at the beach, heading straight down to a recepting beauty of stunning hard and soft corals, anemones and sponges hosting thousands of inhabiting tropical fishes.

Another point of interest is Pescador Island Marine park. It is a shallow reef that shelters lively dancing gorgonians, fan corals and sharks such as whitetip and hammerheads. These are stunning sights that famed Moalboal to divers from around the world.

As a little town by the west coast of Cebu Island, Moalboal can be easily reached by either renting a bike or taking a bus or jeepney from the center of Cebu.
