Cabugaan Reef

Cabugaan Reef is a dive site shown on Sunset Cove Beach & Dive Resort’s map of the Romblon area. This partial guide uses the site name and position from that map. The location has not been independently confirmed by a local diver.

This guide uses the dive-site name shown on the operator’s map. Nearby names may refer to overlapping reef areas; their boundaries and relationships remain unconfirmed.

Current access, entry arrangements, depth limits, currents, visibility and seasonal conditions remain unconfirmed for this record. The operator’s training labels do not establish safe conditions for a particular dive. Confirm the exact site and a suitable dive plan with a local operator.

What the operator publishes

Sunset Cove Beach & Dive Resort's dive-sites page, captured on 8 October 2026, lists Cabugaan Reef as number 5 of its 22 Romblon dive sites. The table gives '6–18m' in a column headed 'Max Depth', so the figure is the operator's published range rather than a single measured maximum, and the level badge reads 'Open Water'. The same figures appear in the page's embedded map data. A Wayback Machine snapshot of the page dated 19 May 2026 carries the same name, range and level, so the entry has been stable for at least that period.

The page says all 22 sites are accessible by banca directly from Sunset Cove and that most sites are a 5 to 30-minute boat ride from the resort's private beach on Alad Island; it does not publish a boat time for Cabugaan Reef specifically. It summarises the set as 'Depths 2m–45m' with five Advanced sites and describes the guides as SDI-certified. The resort's home page states that its divemasters maintain a 1:2 guide ratio. Bluewater Dive Travel's resort page, captured the same day, says the dive centre is operated by Romblon Fun Divers, the resort's sister company, which offers two to three dives per day trip from 9:00 am with lunch at the resort between the second and third dive.

Neighbouring names

In the operator's table the site sits between Cobrador Sanctuary, number 4, and Alad Sanctuary, number 6, with North Rock Wall at number 3. The Three P Holiday & Dive Resort's diving page, captured on 7 October 2026, names its Cobrador Island sites Eastern Coral Garden, Sunken Island (Takot Reef), Naguso Wall and Western Coral Garden, and underwaterphotography.com carries location entries for 'Coral Garden East' and 'Coral Garden West, Cobrador Island' that give 30 to 40 minutes from Romblon Town or Lonos. On Bluewater Dive Travel's resort page a guest who stayed in November 2023 wrote that boat rides from Sunset Cove reached 30 minutes to Cobrador Island. None of these sources uses the name Cabugaan Reef, the record's position is not confirmed to lie at Cobrador Island, and no identity is asserted here.
