Diving in Moalboal
It’s why we are here! If you haven’t noticed already Magic Island is primarily a Scuba Diving Resort, of course all are welcome, but we mainly cater to divers or people who are interested in becoming divers.
Our dive center is located right on the sea front facing out towards our fantastic house reef, where you can dive any time, day or night. Inside the dive center everyone has their own individual post and crate, giving lots of space to hang or place all of your dive gear. Outside there is lots of room to prepare your equipment, plan your dives or just sit in the sun and soak up some rays. Most of the time the tide is high enough that the boats can pull all the way up to the dive center, so it just one step and you’re aboard.
We have 12ltr/80ft³ aluminum tanks with both DIN and Int. connection, suitable for both air and Nitrox. Of course the tanks are filled with a minimum 200bar/3000psi pressure, if not, just return the tank and get a new one! The water temperature ranges from tis coldest in January 26C/80F to its warmest in July 29C/84F.
