About this experience

Diving & Snorkeling in Mantigue Island is a guided aquatic activity on the sandy islet off the southern coast of Camiguin. The island’s protected marine sanctuary contains coral gardens, seagrass beds, and a drop-off wall that attracts reef fish, turtles, and occasional rays. Visitors access the site by pump boat from the mainland, with gear and boat transfers arranged on-site.

What to expect

Guided snorkeling or scuba sessions last 1 to 2 hours, with boat transfer from the mainland included in the standard trip.
Snorkelers swim over shallow coral tables and anemone clusters at depths of 2 to 5 metres, while divers descend to 12 to 18 metres along the eastern wall.
The marine sanctuary zone is marked by buoys; a local guide accompanies each group to enforce no-touch rules and point out species like clownfish, parrotfish, and blue-spotted stingrays.
Between dives, visitors can walk the 500-metre white-sand beach or climb to the island’s viewing deck for a full panorama of Camiguin’s volcanoes.
Suitable for first-time snorkellers and certified divers alike; rental masks, fins, and tanks are available at the island’s small dive station, but wetsuits are not provided.
The best visibility occurs from March to May, when calm seas allow clear sightlines of 15 to 25 metres; the site is closed during typhoon warnings.
