Moalboal Photos

Whale sharks, turtles and many more smaller critters are featured in these dive photos from Moal Boal, Philippines.

Most dives in Moalboal are on fairly steep slopes or walls, so Advanced Open Water, Deep Diver or technical diving certifications are recommended in order to explore some of the deeper sites.
