The Camotes Islands lie in the Camotes Sea and are reached by ferry from Danao City on Cebu. The four sites in our database cover walls, drop-offs, a cavern, and shallow reefs, with depths ranging from beginner-friendly shallows to deeper wall sections. Temperatures are consistently warm, rarely dropping below the high twenties at any point in the year. Marine life recorded here includes napoleon wrasse, whitetip and blacktip reef sharks, pygmy seahorse, robust ghost pipefish, pharaoh cuttlefish, and hairy frogfish. One dedicated dive centre operates locally, keeping the sites relatively uncrowded.
