Moalboal has been a traditional place for diving in the Philippines for the
past 30 years.
Having more than 7700 Islands, this country offers every type of diving
you could imagine. Don't forget that there is 70 % more life in here than in
the Caribbean Sea.
The Philippines undersea world has extensive reef systems, dense,
colourful marine life and warm tropical water (depending upon the season
27°C to 30°C). It is estimated that in the Philippine Reefs there exist most
underwater species in the world. There are more than 2000 species of fish
and more than 800 species of soft and hard coral. Amazing visibility up to
50 meters and it is possible to dive 12 months of the year.
The Blue Orchid Resort in Moalboal is only a few meters from a healthy
reef, meaning that you can also snorkel right from the shore. The reef is
several kilometers long, so don't worry, there is a lot to see.
The Blue Orchid Resort offers shore and boat diving.
There is something enchanting about Moalboal. Hard to explain in words,
but when you dive here, you want to keep coming. Take a look to our
photos and you will have a very small picture of what the Real Thing IS.
