Cabilao is a marvelous place for scuba diving with its shallow topped reefs and nice drop offs, the diving around Cabilao isn't so different to other parts of the Visayas.
The island offers an incredible number of critters in the shallows which are a delight to see. However, what really differentiates it from others nearby are the pristine hard corals around the southern coast. The reef offers a diversity of species: scorpion fish, tunas, jackfish, barracudas, frogfish, nudibranchs of all kinds and pygmy seahorses are often seen.
