Turtles are sociable and tend to stay in the same area, following a steady routine. So long as they do not leave a habitat, they can be seen playing and feeding along the inshore reefs. In certain monitored areas they have become accustomed to humans and are relatively tame. You can swim with them as they feed amongst the coral. A good way to do this is with a sailboat tour and snorkeling picnic.

Turtles are among the best loved of sea-dwelling creatures. This is due both to their graceful movement, cute appearance and personality as well as their declining numbers and their need for human protection.

There are several different types of turtle throughout the world so here we concentrate on those you are most likely to see in dive destinations covered by Dive The World, particularly

These are commonly referred to as Green Turtles, Hawksbills, Olive Ridleys and Leatherbacks.

In some diving locations you may encounter 2 or more of these different types of turtle so it pays to know a little bit about how they differ from one another. Next time you are cruising along and spot the elegant swimming movements of one of these majestic creatures, a little bit of knowledge will make the encounter all the more special.

Feeding habits
The vegetarian diet of the Green Turtle consists mostly of algae and sea grass. Olive Ridleys use their powerful jaws to crunch through the exoskeletons of crabs and molluscs. Soft-bodied animals such as jellyfish, squids and tunicates are also eaten by Olive Ridleys as well as by Hawksbills and Leatherbacks.

Due to features such as powerful jaws for crushing or scissor-like jaws for cutting soft flesh, you would be well advised not to poke around near the mouths of any turtle, at least, not if you value your fingers!

Simple, and a little country town Moalboal are located at southwestern part of Cebu Island.
A lot of tourists come to the ordinary Philippine country town Moalboal every year.

This town Moalboal draws many people as a resort area. May be because it can touch the people of the pure and simple, and nature, because Moalboal hasn’t developed as a resort area yet.

    Interesting enough the highs priced rated the worse at tripadviser seems you don’t always get what you have paid for, you have to check tripadvisor for your self to see

    I saw first hand why the Asian Belgian Resorts had received so many great tripadviser
    reviews Daniel the owner / manager went out of his way to make the Asian Belgian Resorts a hit,your have to read my blog on bars of Panagsama Beach to see why

    But theirs more to white beach than the resorts , the beautiful
    really lays under the water , Snorkeling is great an all the resort can supply you with gear but Moalboal is for scuba diving an again the resorts
    is where to start learning if you don’t know, if you know all ready

    The location couldnt get any better for Scuba diving in the Philippines
    as one of the best reefs in the area is directly in front of the resort in white beach with Scuba dive boats anchoring there daily.
    All you have to do is walk down from the private beach with your gear on and start your dive, which is perfect for beginners and also for snorkelers.

    Do you want to meet the biggest fish in the world, a Whale-shark which can grow up to 9 meters in length? The Philippines is one of the countries where there is the possibility to arrange such a meeting!

    After a morring of scuba diving ,Feel the breeze of summer at white-sand beaches deemed as among the world’s finest:
    Is it the water or the sand that makes the white sand beach moalboal Cebu is known for it´s beautiful sandy beach and crystal clear water

    Snorkeling is great but scuba diving gives you the best view an its would be hard not to see one or two , I have seen as many as four my self


    From deserted white sand lapped by turquiose water to waves crashing against rugged shores,
    Backpackers travelling through Asia will not be disappointed with the scuba diving and cultural highlights
    if you’re looking for a deeper experience on your beach holiday with a mix of relaxation, privacy, seclusion, fun, excitement, adventure and great fun
    Forget four hours of daylight and grab a winter sun holiday in the moalboal cebu
