Balabagon

Balabagon is listed as a dive site in the Moalboal area of Cebu. The source describes a silty-bottom muck dive.

The source title is Balabagon, while its description uses the spelling Balabagun Point. Their relationship is not independently confirmed. This guide follows the named dive-site point, not a barangay centre or a boundary for the whole coastal area. The source point has not been surveyed or verified by a local diver for this guide and is not a confirmed entry or navigation waypoint.

This partial guide keeps unconfirmed details explicit. Current access, entry arrangements, depth limits, currents, visibility and seasonal conditions remain unknown here. Confirm the intended location and a suitable dive plan with a local operator.

What the listings describe

Scubago/SSI's BALABAGON page, read 8 October 2026 and carrying 41 user ratings, calls Balabagun Point a well-known muck diving site with a wide, shallow area suited to macro photography, a silty bottom in calm waters, and macro life it lists as nudibranchs, shrimps, frogfish and other rare critters. It names DIVESTORY of Basdiot, Panagsama Beach as a dive centre catering the site. No depth range, entry point or seasonal detail is given on that page.

The barangay and the sanctuary

The Municipality of Moalboal's About Moalboal page, read 8 October 2026, lists Balabagon among the municipality's barangays. The Directory of CRM Learning Destinations in the Philippines, second edition, as held in a Wayback Machine snapshot of 1 January 2025 of the oneocean.org PDF, lists a Balabagon sanctuary among Moalboal's coastal resource management projects alongside the Saavedra, Tongo, Basdiot and Tuble sanctuaries and the Pescador Island marine park, giving March to June as the best time to visit each. Whether the Scubago dive-site point lies inside that sanctuary is not established by these sources.

Further listings

Scubago's Moalboal destination page, read 8 October 2026, repeats the BALABAGON entry at a 4.2-star rating with the same Balabagun Point description as its site page, so it is the same lineage rather than a second account of the dive site. No depth range, entry point or season for the dive site was found in any page captured for this guide.
