Cebu City
Cebu City is a major gateway to diving in the central Philippines. While the city itself is inland, it serves as the primary urban hub for nearby dive sites along the Mactan and Cebu Strait coasts, and for access to southern Cebu and Bohol. Local dive centers concentrate on boat trips to reefs, walls, muck sites, and wrecks within reach of day trips. Expect warm tropical waters, decent viz, and a variety of shore and boat dive options. Freshwater options are limited locally; most diving happens offshore or on nearby islands with quick transfers from the city.
