Pescador Island Dive Site — Philippines

About Pescador Island

A tiny island off Moalboal surrounded by dramatic vertical coral walls dropping to 40m+, with a cathedral-like cave system at 25m. Resident whitetip reef sharks rest on sandy ledges, while the sardine school from nearby Moalboal often extends to its waters. The shallow reef top is a kaleidoscope of hard corals, anthias, and territorial damselfish.
