This dive site, Tambuli, is located directly in front of Tambuli Resort on Mactan Island, Cebu, offering convenient access via both beach and boat. It features a unique highlight: a light aircraft wreck resting on a predominantly sandy seabed. Divers typically navigate around this wreck, which serves as a central point of interest. The site is easily reached, being just a 5-minute boat ride from Contigi or 5 to 10 minutes from other Mactan Island resorts.
The waters here teem with an abundance of subtropical fish, providing vibrant marine life encounters. While specific species are not detailed, divers can expect to see various reef fish darting around the sandy terrain and the artificial reef created by the aircraft wreck, along with potentially some small coral patches.
The dive site is suitable for year-round diving, with the dry season (roughly December to May) generally offering the best conditions. Divers should be mindful of buoyancy control, particularly over the sandy floor, to avoid stirring up sediment that could reduce visibility for other divers and photographers. This gentle environment makes it an ideal spot for beginners and underwater photographers focusing on small to medium-sized marine life. Freedivers will also find the moderate depth and easy access appealing.
