Bacong

Bacong is a coastal municipality in Negros Oriental, on the eastern side of Negros Island in the Philippines. It’s a gateway for local dive operations with access to the Sulu Sea via nearby shore sites and reef regions. The immediate area hosts a handful of dive centers that run boat trips to surrounding reefs and walls, suitable for recreational divers and certifications. Conditions are typical tropical Southeast Asian waters with warm temperatures, moderate visibility, and abundant reef fish. For divers, the nearest access is via the regional ports, and day trips from Bacong connect to nearby dive sites within the Sulu Sea pocket around Negros Oriental and nearby Panay. The town itself offers coastal access and a quiet base for exploring nearby dive sites while supporting light tourism activities.”,
