Follow me to the sky and sea: Cebu diving

Diving is a must-do activity when traveling to Southeast Asia. I heard that Cebu in the Philippines is one of the best diving destinations, so I took advantage of my annual leave to check it out.

🚗Transportation: Take a ferry to the islands

💰Diving price: Around CNY 300-500

🌟Highlights: Cebu is also known as the "Queen City of the South" and is said to be the first city in the Philippines to become wealthy. The sardine run that went viral online a few years ago is located here.
Since it was discovered by the Spanish, you can still see many Spanish-style buildings on this small island, such as churches, which are full of exotic charm.
Dumaguete, just 2 hours from Cebu City, is known as the "Maldives of the Philippines." When diving here, you may encounter whale sharks, sea turtles, and other marine life!

📌Diving tips:
✅Malapascua Island: A small island famous for its thresher sharks, you can see them almost every day. Hammerhead sharks also appear here from November to May!
✅Balicasag Island: This small island is famous for its 150-meter vertical drop-off. Due to the many rose-shaped valleys, it is also known as the Rose Canyon.
✅Moalboal: This is the famous Moalboal. It is said that about 9 million sardines live here. There is also wreck diving here, which is suitable for advanced divers.
✅Mactan Island: Because it is close to the airport, it is also known as Airport Island. There are more than a dozen dive sites along the way, ranging from 3 to 50 meters deep, suitable for divers of different levels.
