Dive Spot Guide•
Pescador South
Moalboal drift-wall dive with coral, turtles, and heavy marine life.
Boat-access Pescador South combines a wall drift, Cathedral cave, and rich coral and macro life for certified divers.
About Pescador South
Pescador South is a boat-access Moalboal reef-and-wall dive with a strong drift feel, a cathedral-like chimney on the wall, and dense tropical life around the island. It is a good fit for certified divers who want coral, turtles, frogfish, and bigger fish action on a route that changes with current and guide choice. Compared with a simple cove dive, this is more about reading the drift, staying streamlined, and letting the reef work as a moving show.
