Sunken Island is a spectacular dive, for very experienced divers only, in the middle of Cebu and Negros islands in the deep blue. After dropping through 25 meters of open water with strong currents, you will reach the top of an underwater mountain, where you can visit schools of Tuna, Bigeye Trevally, and Surgeon. The small bait fish are so plentiful that they block out the sun. You might see some Great Barracuda prowling the area. If you have time you also see large Lionfish, Scorpion fish, & all kinds of coral fishes. If you are lucky enough there are a few Frogfish to see. During the months of December to March Sharks sometimes visit this reef.

A spectacular dive, for experienced divers only. It's actually an underwater pinnacle, with the summit about 25m below the surface. You have to drop through 25m of open blue water and mostly strong currents to reach the top of this underwater mountain. Underwater dive spots in Moalboal, Cebu-photographers love to shoot pictures from the big school of lion fish, often 20 in one place and reaching substantial sizes. Also you find frogfish and Spanish dancers in this area. And, of course, big pelagics: great school of jacks and tuna, barracuda, grouper and snapper, schools of blue triggerfish and mackerel, as well as the occasional manta ray or shark.
