Plongée à Moalboal — Philippines
Moalboal's sardine run is permanent — millions of sardines swirl in a bait ball just steps from shore at Panagsama Beach, 365 days a year. The adjacent wall drops into the deep blue with turtles, frogfish, and the occasional whale shark. It's the Philippines' best value dive destination by a wide margin.
