Pescador Island, located off the coast of Moalboal, is one of the most iconic dive sites in the area. Its vertical wall, covered with hard and soft corals along with large sea fans, creates a vibrant underwater landscape teeming with marine life. One of the highlights of this site is the «Cathedral», an underwater cavern where sunlight filters through the openings, creating unique lighting effects. Marine life is abundant, with frequent encounters with frogfish, jacks, electric clams, sea turtles, and occasionally reef sharks. This site is ideal for advanced divers due to occasional currents and the opportunity to reach greater depths, though entry-level divers can also enjoy the shallower sections.
Recommendations
- Proper gear: If you are Nitrox certified, using it can help extend your bottom time at this site.
- Moderate currents: Depending on the day, currents may be present, so being comfortable diving in these conditions is advised.
- Bring your camera: Pescador Island is a paradise for underwater photography, especially inside the Cathedral and along the coral-covered walls.
Marine life
- Frogfish
- Electric clamps
- Jackfish
