Dive trip to Leyte Island.
On the west coast of Cebu, 7 days/6 nights, 11 dives, accommodation in double room and transfer from Moalboal to Leyte and from Leyte to Moalboal.

Whalesharks can be seen in Southern Leyte in season from January - April. The Whalesharks congregate in a shallow bay using the area for feeding purposes.
The interaction with these gentle giants can only be done snorkeling.

Southern Leyte offers wonderful scuba diving with spectacular dive sites in one of the Philippines’ most recently discovered dive destinations. The prolific marine life ranges from pygmy seahorses through to whale sharks and there is also an incredible variety of extremely healthy and undamaged hard and soft coral. Sogod Bay offers a plethora of pristine reefs and  much of the Sogod Bay area is essentially virgin territory and as a result  new dive sites are still discovered..
