Dive-site story
Located along the Moalboal coastline in southwestern Cebu, Talisay features a gently sloping reef plateau that breaks into a dramatic vertical wall riddled with small overhangs and swim-through crevices. Sea fans cluster along the deeper drop-offs, providing shelter for macro critters, while sea turtles graze peacefully on the shallows.
