About this itinerary
Departing from Cebu, this 10 night liveaboard route to Anilao is a rare opportunity to combine thresher shark encounters around the Malapascua region of the Visayas with the reefs of Romblon and Tablas Islands in the Sibuyan Sea. Romblon is known for its macro life, with nudibranchs, frogfish and pygmy seahorses among its muck slopes and soft coral gardens, while the walls of Tablas are covered in large sea fans and include the Blue Hole, a vertical chimney in the reef. The itinerary also takes in the Verde Island Drop Off and the soft coral walls of Maricaban and Tingloy, in the current-swept Verde Island Passage.
