Pescador Island

Pescador Island is a marine sanctuary located just off the western coast of Cebu. The major draw is the enormous schools of fish that pass through the region, in which recreational divers may position themselves. Pescador Island is one of the world's top 50 diving destinations. The Cathedral, an open-topped underwater cave, is another feature of this Philippines diving destination. You'll begin your dive near the island's southern tip, commencing on a sandy slope and dropping to 10 meters (33 feet).

Things to see: Pescador Island is undoubtedly a visual treat, but you'll want to visit for the aquatic life. Larger pelagic predators are drawn to daily sardine runs, which involve tens of thousands of fish. There is also a 40-meter (131-foot) hard coral-encrusted wall.

When to go: Diving is offered all year. The average yearly temperature varies from 24 to 32 degrees Celsius/75 to 89 degrees Fahrenheit. The usual water temperature is roughly 27-30C/80-86F, and visibility is around 20m/65ft.
