Pescador Island is one of the primary dive spots in the Philippines. Almost all around Pescador the wall drops off to 50 meters then there is a very steep slope. At one small area there is gradual slope to 200 meters. All around Pescador you will see many Lion fish, Scorpion fish, Clown fish hiding in their anemone home, different color Trumpet fish, there are a few 10 to 15 kilo Groupers roaming the area. Sometimes the Tuna are passing by, schools of Bigeye Trevally, and you might spot a few Great Barracudas. If you are lucky there are a couple resident White-tip Sharks in deeper water. When the water gets down to 25 degrees Celsius, Hammerhead Sharks are spotted in deep water away from the wall. The currents can get strong depending on the tides, so it is the perfect place for a drift dive. Visibility varies between 15 to 50 meters and averages 25 meters.

The best Season is all around the Year. There is no specific season to dive this spot. You will reach the Spot by Boat in less than 15 min from Panagsama Beach.
Pescador Island is a nice all-season Dive Site. The whole year around you can enjoy big fishes like Barracudas, Groupers, Snappers, and sometimes the White Tip Sharks are courious to say Hello to the Divers. Even Whale Sharks are not to shy to show up there. The school of Sardines is a very nice attraction on this spot and amazes the divers by swimming around them. For Photographers the big challenge is to find the smallest nudibranch or crab all around this amazing wall full of hidden species.
