There is a lot to see at the various divesites in Mactan: Turtles and the mighty shoal of Sardines at Kontiki Marina, the huge Jack Fish at Gilutongan Island, shoals of Batfish and Snapper at the sanctuaries of Olango Island and Gilutongan Island, beautiful coral gardens and Blue Spotted Sting-Rays at Nalusuan island are only a few of the highlights.
The dive sites in Mactan are suitable for beginners and advanced divers. When boat diving its possible to enjoy Drift diving along the coast of Olango Island. Sometimes when crossing from Mactan island to Olango Island or to Gilutongan Island we see Dolphins.
We normally meet at 8:30 AM at the diveshop and get back at around 4PM.
Sometimes we start earlier at 7:30 AM and get back at 3:30 PM
The boat ride from our diveshop in Kontiki to the marine sanctuaries of Olango Island takes about 15 minutes. To Gilutongan Island the boat ride takes about 35 minutes. To Nalusuan Island it takes about 45 minutes.
