Old Volcano
Steep volcanic wall dive with coral overhangs and macro life.
Local operator required
Local dive bases typically run the site as a one-way wall dive from boat.
One-way volcanic wall with a shallow start, deeper drop, and a strong fit for buoyancy practice, macro, and wide-angle.
About Old Volcano
Old Volcano is a dramatic volcanic wall dive in Camiguin that starts shallow and then drops steeply into deep water. The site is built around a one-way profile with coral-encrusted overhangs, boulders, and volcanic rock, so the appeal is the shape of the wall, the macro life in the cracks, and the chance to mix relaxed exploration with deeper wall work. It suits divers who want a compact island dive that can be run as a straightforward boat trip and still deliver enough relief for photography and careful buoyancy practice.
