Best for advanced divers, 55-90m, shore entry, moderate current.
Enchanted River is a technically demanding cave dive in Mindanao, Philippines, requiring advanced cave and trimix qualifications. The site features a significant vertical drop, with depths ranging from 55 to 90 metres. Divers enter from the shore to navigate an overhead environment characterised by moderate currents and visibility between 15 and 20 metres. Water temperatures remain between 25 and 27C, influenced by an underground cold spring. Due to the depth and overhead nature of the cave system, this site is suitable only for highly experienced divers. The habitat supports various reef fish and invertebrates, though the primary focus for visitors is the complex cave topography.

Confirm gas planning and team configuration before entry, as overhead sections combined with depths beyond 60 metres leave no margin for improvisation. Check locally for current facility availability and any access restrictions, as these can change without notice.
