    Dive Activity

    Diving in Mectan

    There is lots of both shore and boat diving in Mactan. Most of the drop-offs start around 50–80 meters/164–262 feet away from the shore entry point. There are shallow reefs to enjoy until the drop-off, perfect for beginner divers. The walls sometimes plunge into very deep water, which is a favorite of technical divers. There are sometimes currents here, which can be used for drift dives. There are two wrecks, including an aircraft, to enjoy too.

    The densely populated island means there is a wide variety of dive centers and dive courses to choose from—some of which include technical diving. There are several dive resorts too, which cater to different budgets ranging from backpacker to luxury. Several liveaboards include diving at Mactan Island within a tour of the wider area.

    Top Wildlife Sightings in Mactan

    The reefs surrounding Mactan are very healthy, particularly because of the deeper, cooler water which surrounds the island. The reefs host many colourful and diverse fish and sea creatures - groupers, barracuda, nudibranch, scorpion fish, pufferfish, clownfish, moray eels, butterfly fish and fusiliers are seen on almost every dive. The slightly more elusive creatures like frogfish, leaf fish, squid, octopus, sea snakes, stone fish and pipefish are there for the sharp eyed too. There is even the chance to spot the super rare mandarin fish.

    Out in the blue, mackerel and jacks gather in huge schools. Turtles, stingrays and even big eyed trevally often accompany them. White tip reef sharks frequent several sites, and some dive sites even have the opportunity to see hammerhead and thresher sharks, though rarely.

    The best Months to dive in Mactan

    Mactan diving is available all year round, but there are seasonal changes in the weather. The best conditions for diving tend to come during the warm and dry season between February and May. There is less rainfall in this season, and the waters are at their warmest in May/June. From June to November, there is slightly more rain, but as they tend to be short, refreshing showers, it is nothing that will ruin a holiday! December and January are the coolest months of the year, and water temperatures can reach as low as 25°C/77°F.
