Guinabasan Port is a shallow macro site in Asturias, Cebu.
Guinabasan Port is a shallow port-side dive in Tubigagmanok, Asturias, Cebu, centered on pillars and hard-bottom structure that attract small reef life. Expect sea slugs, seahorses, pipefish, shrimp, and crab around sea fans and sponges. Plan it as a guided, conditions-sensitive stop because current and visibility can shift quickly.

Safety Notes
Watch for current shifts, port activity, and visibility that can drop quickly. Keep the dive close to the structure and shorten the plan if conditions change.
Access Restrictions
Coordinate entry timing with local site contacts and avoid interfering with active port operations.
Legal Notes
Follow Asturias municipal site rules and any protected-area or port-specific guidance before entering the water.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a short macro dive for close-up subjects rather than a long swim. Stay close to the pillars when the water is moving.
Freediving
Works for freedivers on calmer days because the site is shallow and structure-focused, but current can make timing important.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to the shallowest structure and is most practical only when conditions are calm and visibility is decent.
