South Tip Alad

South Tip Alad 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.

The historical Alad South directory point is about 2.6 km away. This record retains only the exact Sunset Cove name and point, not a confirmed alias.

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 South Tip Alad as number 7 of its 22 Romblon dive sites. The table gives '12–30m' 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 South Tip Alad 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.

Alad Island context

Sunset Cove's resort page, captured on 8 October 2026, says the resort sits on Alad Island about 10 minutes from Romblon town by boat, that the island faces south-west, and that 'each dive site around Alad Island offers something different', some being muck sites and others reef slopes and coral gardens; it does not describe South Tip Alad individually. On Bluewater Dive Travel's resort page a guest who visited in December 2024 wrote that a marine sanctuary lies just behind the island. In the operator's table the site sits between Alad Sanctuary, number 6, and Sunset Cove House Reef, number 8.

The Three P Holiday & Dive Resort's diving page, captured on 7 October 2026, names its Alad Island sites Sanctuary Garden, Alad South, Alad North and Alad Marine Sanctuary. Its Alad South entry describes sandy areas, large coral blocks and a field of garden eels at the entry point. This record already notes that the historical Alad South directory point lies about 2.6 km from the Sunset Cove position, so Three P's description is not transferred to South Tip Alad and no identity is asserted here.
