P aradise in the Visayan Sea 2 3 DESTINATION by Scott D Tauson T he island of Cebu is the place where Magellan first landed in the Philippines. Today, Cebu and nearby islands are famous for sweet mangoes and stellar dive sites. Malapascua Island, just off the northern tip of Cebu is world-renowned for being the only place on the planet where you can reliably dive with elusive thresher sharks. Moalboal, on the central west coast of Cebu, is a regular stop on the Philippines diving circuit and is known for amazing dropoffs. Aside from diving, Cebu offers a great mix of culture, food and entertainment to keep you busy during surface intervals. There’s enough variety in Cebu to offer something for all levels of diving and interest — from thresher sharks to pygmy seahorses, sea snakes to wrecks. In fact, there’s so much that you’ll no doubt want to make more than one trip to the area!

No matter where we build our world-class dive resorts, we always emphasise Mother Nature’s needs, and that of our divers, first.
So, long before the decision was made to give Sipadan a breather by disallowing overnight visitors, we had already begun building other resorts where the interests of divers and conservation are unified.
For instance, at Lankayan, turtle hatchlings find a place of refuge, while at Kapalai, our low-touch approach means we ship everything in and out, trash and all, to minimise any impact on our splendid coral reefs.
