Route Description - Dauin - Cebu - Siquijor - Bohol - Dauin
Known as the Big Shark Trip, this safari takes divers through the Visayas’ top shark hotspots. Expect encounters with thresher sharks, whale sharks, reef sharks, bamboo sharks, and even the chance of spotting hammerheads near Apo Island. The journey begins in Dauin, famed for its black sand muck diving and rare critters like frogfish, ghost pipefish, and flamboyant cuttlefish. Highlights include dive sites like Car Wreck, Secret Corner, and Mainit. In Siquijor, divers explore vibrant coral walls and slopes with excellent visibility, home to turtles, nudibranchs, and colorful reef life—an ideal warm-up before heading to Bohol and Cebu for more big fish action.
