Diving Guide to the Philippines 2015

45) Cathedral Cave

Icons:

Location: West Carabao Island

Depth: 82-130 ft. (25-40m)

This is a favorite that can be a bit

of a boat ride to get to this Carabao

Island site. The dive features walls

and caverns and crevices and one

large and somewhat deep cave.

This huge cavern starts at 80 ft.

(24m) and extends far into the reef

wall. Its not so deep and dark that

cave diving training is needed, but

bring a good light. The blue hue of

the entrance is always in sight.

Poke around the walls and cracks

to see what’s in there on any given

day. Fish swim upside own,

orienting themselves to the cave

walls. Tubastreaand black corals

grow from the ceiling.
