Pescador Island, Islet in Cebu, Philippines

Pescador Island is a small islet off the west coast of Cebu, Philippines, near the town of Moalboal. It is a rocky outcrop with steep sides that drop into the sea, surrounded by clear water and coral reefs.

The islet has been a landmark for sailors for centuries, and in the 20th century it became known among divers for its rich marine life. It was declared a marine protected area in the 2000s to safeguard the reefs.

Local fishermen have long used the waters around the islet, and the name Pescador comes from the Spanish word for fisherman. Today, visitors often see small outrigger boats passing by, a reminder of the area's fishing traditions.

The islet is reached by a short boat ride from Panagsama Beach, and trips are best arranged in the morning when the sea is usually calmer. Bring your own water and sun protection, as there are no facilities on the island.

The island is famous for a underwater cave known as the Cathedral, where divers can swim through a large opening. The cave got its name because of the light that filters down from above, creating a church-like effect.
