Romblon Dive Overview

Romblon is the perfect dive destination for fans of rare macro and super macro critters, underwater macro, and super macro photographers but also divers, who enjoy scuba diving in untouched dive sites. Our dive spots in Romblon are highly diverse. From hard coral formations, soft coral gardens, caves, and cliffs with large Gorgonias to sand/muck and colorful shallow water dive sites. In Romblon, fans of rare marine life will have plenty to discover as the Philippines are one of the most diverse areas of marine biodiversity (Heart of the Coral Triangle and Biodiversity Hotspot). Romblon Island is also located at the end of the Verde Island Passage (also dubbed the center of marine biodiversity), which is known to be one of the richest areas when it comes to marine species.

Divers can enjoy various underwater landscapes often without any other divers around and will find in Romblon a serene underwater haven.

Most dive sites are suitable for all levels of experience. We dive in small groups all year round, every day of the week (except Ati-Atihan/Biniray Festival, the first or second Saturday in January). Water temperatures are usually between 26 C and 30C. The sight distance underwater is usually at least 20 meters (65 feet).
