About Quiliano
Quiliano is a northern Malapascua pinnacle with a shallow top, soft-coral walls, and a lot of macro life. It is a short boat ride from the island and is best for divers who like relaxed reef time and close-up subjects, though the walls can still pick up current when the water moves.

Local Intel For Quiliano
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a short boat dive from Malapascua. The site suits newer divers on calm days, but the wall edges and current can make it feel more active than the shallow top suggests.
Freediving
Freediving is not the main use case; the most interesting structure sits along the walls and shallow plateau where a tank dive works better.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling only gives a partial look at the shallow top. The soft-coral walls and macro subjects are much better underwater.
