Sorsogon Scuba Diving Packages and Information

admin — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 07:55:32 +0000

Sorsogon is on the southern most tip of Luzon in the Province of Sorsogon, where you can view the magestic Whale Sharks and dive in the Manta Bowl off Ticao island to get a glimpse of huge Manta Rays.

The sheer size of the largest fish in the ocean will start your adrenalin pumping and drive you to such a high, that it will be days before you come back down.

Diving in Sorsogon is all about the Whale Shark Rhincodon Typus or Butanding as it is locally known. It can grow up to 18m length and feeds on the krill and plankton rich currents that flow through the San Bernardino Strait and into the Visayas. The whale shark is not the type of shark most people envisage, the movie Jaws has a lot of explaining to do. It is a placid gentle giant that feeds on the surface, which makes it perfect for viewing in snorkeling equipment.
