Diving in Cebu Philippines - Cebu dive boats

Our staff wants you to have a safe and enjoyable diving experience whilst in Moalboal. We only promote safe diving practices and techniques at all times and would request that you do likewise. Your safety is a paramount and is a core value to our business.

If you are a 'rusty' or 'novice' diver returning to the aquatic world or a 'seasoned' professional please do not hesitate to consult with a member of our staff for any advice or concerns.

Our boats are provided with two-way communications and equipped with emergency oxygen and additional emergency equipment is always available on the boat and at the dive centre.

Unfortunately in this day and age, there is a threat from terrorism in many countries across the globe including the Philippines, where the Mindanao region is mainly affected. However, we are pleased to state that there have been no reports of acts of terrorism on the island of Cebu.

The crime rate in Moalboal is low. As with all places, sensible precautions include displays of cash or jewellery in public should be avoided.

Even though it was common in the past in other areas of the Philippines, 'dynamite' and 'commercial' fishing has never been allowed in our waters and the area is considered as a preservation area.

We look forward to seeing you in sunny Moalboal.

Have a safe day!

WEATHER & WATER TEMPERATURE

Diving in Cebu is generally good all year round. The visibility is not affected much by the seasons, ranging anywhere between 10m on a very bad day and 30+m on good days. So, in our opinion, we cannot really recommend a special month where diving is best.

Cool & dry season (December to February) - Temperature in daytime is around 32C. Temperatures in night time drops to 23 - 25C. There are occasional rain showers. The water is a bit cooler, 26 - 27C.

Hot & dry season (March to May) - Temperature in daytime about 32C. It does not cool off very much in the evening; you can expect also 30 - 32C during most of the nights. The water is only a bit cooler, 27 - 29C. It rains very seldom, sometimes not for weeks.

Rainy season (June to November) - Temperature in daytime about 32C. Cebu and the Visayas don't have a strong rainy season and it's usually bright sunshine in the morning and a short but strong refreshing downpour in the afternoon. After that, sunshine again. Water temperature is 27 - 29C.

Between September and December the Philippines are sometimes hit by typhoons. These typhoons follow a regular path, which leads over the islands of Samar to Luzon (Manila) further on to China, Hong Kong or Japan. Cebu is outside this typhoon belt but sometimes we are affected by overcast and some rain for a couple of days
