Philippines :: Cebu : Sumilon Island

This island is situated off the southeast tip of Cebu and was the first marine sanctuary to be established in the Philippines. Despite some earlier destruction, the island has managed to regenerate itself through better protection and is a great area to explore.

Visibility is excellent, particularly between December and May and you are sure to see a good variety of pelagics, including rays, tuna and jacks with whitetip and hammerhead sharks being occasional visitors. If you are very lucky, you may come across a whale shark.
