Dive-site story
Located along the eastern coast of Mactan Island in Cebu, Kontiki Marina serves as a classic house reef and shore-entry dive site. A shallow sandy plateau with scattered coral heads gives way to a steep wall that drops off into the Hilutungan Channel. The site is widely used for training and macro photography, offering calm conditions in the shallows along with opportunities to spot passing pelagics and schooling fish along the wall.
Steep wall drop-off hosting sea fans, soft corals, and small caverns
Dense macro life including diverse nudibranchs, ghost pipefish, and frogfish
Convenient shore access with easy navigation for night diving and training
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Diving is year-round, though the driest weather and calmest seas occur from December through May.
