The coastline around Dumaguete and Dauin boasts some of the best macro diving in the region and there's plenty of opportunity for snorkellers and non-diving holidaymakers to enjoy the surrounding area, or simply sit back and relax watching the world go by.
Divers will be amazed by the reef life and the Dauin area is possibly one of the best macro locations around and particularly popular amongst photographers. If you prefer your marine life larger and enjoy a drift dive, head to Apo Island a short sail away and you will find schooling pelagics, turtles, enormous grouper, napoleon wrasse, white-tip sharks and pristine hard corals.
Dumaguete is known as the 'City of Gentle People', so you're assured a warm welcome and first class hospitality!
