LEARNING TO FREEDIVE IN MOALBOAL // Solo Backpacking the Philippines

Moalboal is one of the best places in the Philippines to learn to freedive, so since I was passing through on my backpacking adventure, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to learn about this sport which has been on my bucket list for a while now!

BELOW THE SARDINES – Freediving in Moalboal ????Philippines, Cebu

The reason we wanted to learn freediving is, that freedivers usually have the best encounters with marine life and additionally are able to take great pictures and videos of it. You move freely and peacefully under water, without any heavy equipment or producing bubbles. That’s why fish react positively and without fear – you become a part of the ocean somehow. And since we’ve already planned some very special marine life encounters for this year, we’re certain, that our freediving adventures have only just begun.

To learn Freediving as our new skill we found out about Freediving Planet and their diveshop in Moalboal. As we were completely new to the topic, we enrolled for the AIDA 2 Beginner Course, a 3 day programme packed with theory knowledge and loads of praxis. At the end we were able to hold our breath for more than 2 minutes, swim 60 meters in the pool and dive 18 meters deep. The small team of instructors around Co-Founders Suzanne Lim and Jean-Pol Francois (aka JP) is very enthusiastic and we felt absolutely relaxed and safe at all times.

While snorkelling or diving in Moalboal, it can suddenly get really dark in the water. That's because the house reef is home to a huge school of sardines ????. It's fascinating to swim through them, witness how their formation is changing all the time. And the best part is, that they live so close to the beach, it only takes you 2 minutes to reach them equipped with mask and snorkel. Additionally, there are numerous reef fish with you in the water, and if you're lucky, you're suddenly swimming next to a relaxed turtle ????. For underwater enthusiasts Moalboal is very much recommended ????.

We'd love to hear your feedback in the comments section.

Freediving with a Million Sardines at Moalboal - The Philippines

Snorkeling and freediving with the Moalboal Sardine Run on Cebu Island, Philippines.

Just 30m off shore there is a huge school of sardines that live in the Moalboal area just off shore from Chilli Bar. You can pay to leave your gear at a cafe or just simply swim straight off the beach and leave your gear with your motor bike.

Well worth it, there are millions of sardines swimming around you!

Want a place to stay in Moalboal? Try this one that we stayed in. Soultravelers Guest House. Its a homestay/hostel run by a nice couple 4km south of Moalboal.
