There are several reasons to visit the south of Cebu and one of the millions of reasons is the underwater fun. If you haven’t realized it yet, Cebu is rich in so many different ways, and fortunately, we are blessed with a whole new world– under the sea.
Diving is among the attractions in this part of Cebu and we can tell you why. In Tabogon, we have turtles floating on clear water. In Oslob, we have the famous gentle giants– whale sharks. If you go to Moalboal, you can swim with the sardines. Are you thinking about 2-3 fish? No, we have plenty.

The beauty of our natural resources cannot be summed up in one post. It must be discovered by actually going there yourself.

Adventures come in different forms. This, however, is the kind of adventure that is harmless, yet leaves a mark in you as a person.

Moalboal is 3 hours away from Cebu City. Take a bus from the South Bus Terminal to Moalboal (via Barili/Badian, make sure that the bus will pass through Moalboal).
The fare is around 150 pesos only. You know the drill, take a habal-habal to your destination but first, secure your accommodation.
