Pescador Island sits roughly four kilometres off the coast of Moalboal in Cebu and is reached entirely by boat. The sites here run from the beginner-friendly Magic Island House Reef, which has a shore entry and a drop-off starting very shallow, through to the deeper walls at Pescadores Islands and the drift at Pescador South. The wall descends to sixty-five metres at its deepest, though most recreational dives stay well above that. Whitetip reef sharks, green sea turtles, warty anglerfish, and sea kraits are among the species recorded. Visibility can reach forty metres at the house reef. The island itself is a marine park.

Temperatures are relatively consistent year-round, sitting in the high twenties for most of the year and creeping toward thirty degrees in the warmer months. Conditions at the outer wall sites can include currents, making them better suited to intermediate divers, while the house reef remains calm and accessible for beginners.
