Millions of sardines swirling in the shallows, just a short swim north of our stairs.

The early first dive on three-dive days: walls into the blue and the famous Cathedral.

Gentle slope with soft corals and critters.
Dolphin House
No dolphins, we promise: a coral slope that turns into a wall at about 20 m, with sea fans and overhangs.
Tubli
Marine sanctuary of wall cuts and canyons over a sandy slope, with a small cave around 27–30 m.
Kasai Point
A wall dropping to around 40 m with a cave at its base; turtles and reef fish in the shallows.
White House
Hard and soft corals on a gentle slope, with plenty of reef fish to keep you busy.
Oscar Reef
Colourful coral gardens where turtles and nudibranchs often turn up.
Balay Reef
A relaxed reef of sea fans and anemones, with their clownfish standing guard.
Tongo Point
Marine sanctuary: a steep wall topped with staghorn coral, turtles resting and pygmy seahorses for sharp eyes.

We loved Lulu Diving Center! Gear in great condition, a seafront base and the staff… what can we say about the staff… super kind, they made us feel at home. The instructor was wonderful! He explained everything really well and gave us a confidence underwater that few dive centres had given us before! If we come back to Moalboal, it will be here, NO DOUBT! The best!

A 10/10 experience! I recommend this dive centre 100%. The whole team made us feel at home from the very first moment. Our instructor, Jesús, who is Spanish, was super kind, patient and very professional, which made the experience incredible. Álex, the owner, was also attentive and professional the whole time. Beautiful even organised a trip to Kawasan Falls for us at a very good price and everything went perfectly, without us worrying about a thing. You can tell they care that their guests truly enjoy themselves. If we come back to Moalboal, we'll be back for sure. Thank you so much to the whole team for the fantastic welcome!

What an unforgettable experience, if you looking to make your first Open water course, this is the PLACE. A huge thank you to Jesus, Alex, Beautifull, Lans, and the whole team for making my Open Water diving course such a great experience. From the first briefing to the final dive, everyone was patient, professional, and genuinely passionate about diving. The instructors made me feel safe and confident underwater while keeping every session fun. Their knowledge, clear explanations, and positive energy made learning easy. If you're thinking about getting your diving certification or just want to dive with an amazing team, I highly recommend this dive center. Thank you all for the memories. I can't wait to come back for more dives!

I did three dives with Lu'Lu. First one with their instructor Jesus and two of them with Alex. It was a great experience. We felt so welcome, like being a part of their little family. My partner did his open water certification. He was well instructed and felt safe all the time. Beautiful made the experience even more special with her fun and sincere way of caring for everybody's wellbeing. Thank you a lot for the wonderful memories we take with us.
