Best dive resort on Cebu

ksporry · Jul 6, 2013

Simple question:
Am going to Cebu in october and was wondering what would be the best dive resort around Cebu. There is a chance I'll be going to Bohol as well.
Can anyone recommend a good dive resort?

Did some more research, and I found some dive sites are marine parks and require entrance fees and/or photography fees. Can someone tell me which sites those are and where I can find the fees for those?
I also wonder if I should move to Bohol rather than stay at Maclan Island...

Hey PPD experts, any advise for this diver?

Price range may help- resorts vary.

Cebu Island? Different areas and different types of dives. Moalboal isn't too far and that has some decent dives.

Cebu City/Mactan? Nalusuan has entry fee- it's possibly the 'nicest' diving out of Cebu City. Hilutungan also has a fee but it gets fairly thrashed by the Try Dive crowds.

October can be rough weather wise...

Lot of beach front resort's art Bohol. I started at, horizon annex, the budget version of the beach front resort 100m behind in a backlane. No complaints. The attached dive shop is also good enough without being too judgemental.

On Mactan island, near Cebu international airport is the bluewater maribago resort http://www.bluewatermaribago.com.ph. I have been diving with them in the past and found the sites near Mactan island are nothing special

Diving around Bohol much, much prettier than Mactan. Have never found marine park fees to be high enough anywhere in the Philippines to be a concern.

Cebu is a big frikkin' island.

I visited Moalboal and stayed at Turtle Bay Dive Resort, and I'd be happy to recommend them. Not the cheapest, but a good quality outfit.

@ ksporry: Did your trip to Cebu/Bohol push through? Which dive resort did you end up with?

Hi,

Just a quick info.

Bohol was recently struck by a devastating earth (7.2 magnitude) and currently experiencing aftershocks (5.+ magnitude is the highest so far record by PhilVocs), as per the news, basic amenities is currently short due to highways and bridges has been damage.

So I would not suggest a trip to bohol at the moment.

For Cebu, PM me if you need a contact.
