Freediving in Cebu - SilverKris

"A convenient, versatile dive destination close to the city that combines artificial-reef sites, beach clean-up initiatives and a variety of underwater environments—from drop-offs to wrecks—making it popular for both training and recreational freediving; divers commonly use buoys and weighted ropes to judge depths, celebrate warm-up dives here, and benefit from the lack of scuba bubbles to get much closer to abundant marine life, including clownfish and a notable whale-shark population." - Silkwinds, the inflight magazine of SilkAir

It’s a nice island with an international airport. East coast is perfect to spend time on the beach.

We took the Crimson Resort Sunset Cruise on our second night there. View was nothing special and the boat was mediocre at best. However, we all had a great time despite that.

I like Mactan it got everything you need and close to the airport. It’s also setup better for the average foreigner

Nice add-on to Cebu City with many nice beach resorts and condos/subdivisions being built. Easy access to Cebu via CCLEX. Perfect for out of city getaways

Beautiful town with clothing stores, supermarkets and restaurants. It is not a big city like Manila so do not expect malls but it has everything you need including beautiful beaches. Grab services here

Wouldn’t recommend except if you like tourist trap, this is far from everything so the cabs will charge you the maximum. Nothing much to do except if you like to stay in big resort where you’ll be charged 10x more. Had stay in Alona beach (which is also very touristy) in Bohol but it was close to the main road, so still have walkable options for dinner or activities.

Sorry, but this Island is NOT worth it. No public beaches. You have to pay ridiculously expensive resorts to enjoy a good swimming pool and a not so good beach. Island hopping is very boring for those who just did El Nido and Coron. I regret coming here.

Keeping the historical image is just wonderful
