Best for advanced divers, 35-40m, boat entry, moderate current.
Blue Cathedral is a deep-water site in the Visayas featuring a combination of drop-offs, caves, and cavern formations. Divers typically explore between 35 and 40 metres, requiring advanced skills to manage the overhead environment alongside moderate currents and surge. Visibility ranges from 15 to 30 metres, allowing for observation of the large-scale geological structures. Due to the depth and the nature of the cavern layout, bottom time is limited and requires careful planning. Access is exclusively by boat, and divers should confirm current direction at the surface before entry. The site demands high situational awareness throughout the 50-minute average dive duration.

Brief your team on the cavern layout before descending, as the overhead environment and depth together compress your bottom time significantly. Confirm current direction at the surface before committing to your entry point, as moderate current can become pushy around the drop-off.
Diving permits are required and can be obtained through local dive operators.
