Moalboal, Cebu: Home of Gazillion Sardines

Though it took me 195 dives before going to Moalboal, Cebu, I am still beyond thankful to mark my 200th dive there. As the expression goes, better late than never! ;)


The highlight of our Moalboal dives? No doubt the mind-blowing gazillion school of sardines! And yes, it is just found in Panagsama’s house reef. After diving in Tubbataha in 2014, this was only the second time I used my wide-angle fisheye lens. Tried to figure out the best wide-angle photog settings for my Canon S120 camera. Hope you like it as much as I enjoyed taking pictures of it! See also Moalboal, Cebu: Surprisingly Amazing Reefs, Moalboal, Cebu.

About Mona

Certified as a PADI rescue diver. Got my first compact camera in 2011. I was simply content then to just capture a glimpse of what I see during my dives. It was only last February 2014 that I fully maximized the use of manual macro settings.

My camera skills and knowledge are still a work in progress. Enjoy browsin’!
