Days 1-2: Moalboal – Pescador Island
Rated as one of the Philippines' top dive sites for many years, this small island is just a couple of miles due west of Moalboal. The exhilarating scene is set by a small plateau that surrounds the island before it drops vertically into the abyss. The wall is literally teeming with life; frogfish, stonefish, barracuda, and turtles are common, but the real draw is the sardine run and a chance of a thresher!

Day 3: Oslob And Sumilon Island
We will spend the 3rd day snorkeling with Whale Sharks at Oslob. The rest of the day will be spent diving around tranquil Sumilon Island, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and pristine white sandy beaches. Look out for… exquisite coral gardens and drop-offs. ‘Sightings’ in this area include manta rays and stingrays, barracudas, sea turtles and snakes, and very occasionally whale sharks and hammerheads.

Day 4: Balicasag Island
Balicasag is a flat island four kilometers southwest of Duljo Point; the sandy coralline beach is a sight to behold. Look out for… jacks, mackerel, and barracudas, which are often seen in abundance, as well as large groupers, napoleon wrasses and snappers hiding in the overhangs of the dramatic multi-hundred-foot vertical walls. Look out for… turtles; whitetip and blacktip reef sharks; eagle & manta rays; schooling barracuda and trevally; frogfish; ghost pipefish; pygmy and thorny seahorses; plus many different species of nudibranch, among dramatic walls and reefs.

Day 5: Balicasag Island/Panglao Island/land tour
Panglao Island—Look out for… turtles, whitetip and blacktip reef sharks, eagle & manta rays, schooling barracuda and trevally, frogfish, ghost pipefish, pygmy and thorny seahorses, plus many different species of nudibranch, among dramatic walls and reefs.

Land tour options: Chocolate Hills or Loboc River Tour. A visit to the Tarsiers – the world's smallest primate—on both tours.

Day 6: Half a day diving in either Apo Island or Siquijor
Apo Island is one of the world’s best-known community-organized marine sanctuaries. The island is home to over 650 documented species of fish and is estimated to have over 400 species of corals.

Siquijor is called Isla del Fuego—or the “Island of Fire.” Look out for superb hard and soft corals, fusiliers, many nudibranchs, clown fish, parrot fish, schools of juvenile barracuda, and razorfish. Super pristine walls abound!
