There is a large inland lake that can be explored, lots of small roads where it is easy to ride a scooter, some tourist accommodations and a handful of diving resorts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the perfect island to break away from the hustle and bustle of the world... \ud83d\udc4c <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-19147 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/en\/plonger-cabilao-philippines-20191218\/cabilao-road\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/cabilao-road-1681-250x250.jpg?wsr\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"One of the small roads of Cabilao, easy to travel by scooter.

We are therefore very few on the boat for exploration trips (most of the other customers are doing baptisms or training) and consequently always in very small committee underwater... \ud83d\udc4c <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a photographer like me (understand: who can't stand big groups that scare away the fishes), it is ideal. I must admit that I enjoyed watching, from a distance, the groups of divers that were piling up every morning on the boats of the nearby resort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Two very nice young French instructors managed the Cabilao Divers center during my stay. They understand my expectations very well and I appreciate the way they organize the outings: choice of sites almost \u00e0 la carte from day to day (depending on the conditions), small groups divided by level... And, regularly, I have one of the Filipino guides, who knows perfectly the Cabilao reefs, all to myself. The absolute luxury in my eyes! \ud83e\udd17<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the rest, everything is fine too. There are rooms for all budgets, a nice little pool for post-dive desalination, a nice terrace facing the sea to admire the setting sun and the staff is adorable. A detail that does not spoil anything: the management is French, so the food served in the restaurant is pleasant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/filipino-dive-guides-1585.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/filipino-dive-guides-1585-770x578.jpg\" alt=\"The two great Filipino guides who worked at the Cabilao Dive Center during my stay.

(Philippines, Cabilao, February 2018)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As for hammerhead sharks<\/strong> that used to evolve in the waters of Cabilao (and that some diving tour operators still dare to mention or even to put in pictures, to lure the client), don't hope to see them. They were massively fished in 1999-2000 and their population never recovered. Besides, I did not see any big fish in the area... <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Cabilao sites therefore have everything to please Zen and contemplative divers<\/strong>This is a place where you will find the most beautiful corals and a lot of strange and fascinating little animals, but it is clearly not a place for \"big\" divers (even if, as in Balicasag, not far from there, it is a place where you will find the most beautiful corals). But it is clearly not a place for \"big fish\" lovers (even if, like in Balicasag, not far from there, <a href=\"https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/en\/whale-shark-philippines-20180604\/\">we are not safe from meeting by chance a big whale-shark passing by<\/a>).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marine protected areas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Good to know: you have to pay a small daily fee to be able to dive in Cabilao, because the island has two <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"marine protected areas (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Aire_marine_prot%C3%A9g%C3%A9e\" target=\"_blank\">marine protected areas (MPAs)<\/a>. A chance for the coral and the fish of the area. It is undoubtedly thanks to them that the reefs have remained so beautiful... <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MPAs are indeed very effective in preserving or regenerating a local underwater ecosystem, whether in Asia or the Mediterranean. In addition, they benefit the neighboring waters, helping them to repopulate, to enrich in species and biomass: it is the \"reserve effect\". This is the \"reserve effect\", which gives nature a real boost! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mynotice\">Unfortunately, this remains a drop in the ocean, compared to the three very destructive practices, unfortunately well known in Asia, which are <strong>dynamite fishing<\/strong>, <strong>industrial fishing <\/strong>and <strong>shark fin fishing<\/strong>... <br><br><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">Dynamite fishing.<\/span><\/strong> In Asia in particular, <a aria-label=\"dynamite fishing (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/P%C3%AAche_%C3%A0_l%27explosif\" target=\"_blank\">dynamite fishing<\/a> has destroyed many reefs in a few decades. Although it is now illegal and very dangerous, it is still practiced in some areas near the coral reefs. It happened to me several times, in Indonesia and in the Philippines, in particular, to hear explosions under water, during dives... Terrifying. The sound propagates underwater without being able to identify the direction or the distance. <br><br><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">Industrial fishing. <\/span><\/strong>On the high seas, these are the factory ships of <a aria-label=\"industrial fishing (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lemonde.fr\/biodiversite\/article\/2018\/02\/22\/la-peche-industrielle-exploite-plus-de-la-moitie-de-la-superficie-des-oceans_5261145_1652692.html\" target=\"_blank\">industrial fishing<\/a>They continue to drain the ocean, depleting fish stocks that cannot be replenished. They continue to literally drain the ocean, depleting fish stocks that cannot be replenished, not to mention their countless so-called \"by-catches\" (dolphins, turtles, and other commercially unfit species). <br><br><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">Shark finning.<\/span><\/strong> Finally, there is also the juicy <em>shark-finning<\/em>i.e. <a aria-label=\"shark finning (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shark_finning\" target=\"_blank\">shark fin fishing<\/a>This is disastrous for shark populations, which are predators that are essential to the balance of marine ecosystems... An ocean without sharks is a threat to life on land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On my modest scale of tourist diver, I had the chance to discover many protected sites, reserves and marine parks, offering magnificently preserved reefs full of life. In Cabilao, as well as in <a href=\"https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/en\/dive-tubbataha-20180828\/\">Tubbataha<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/en\/dive-balicasag-philippines-20200126\/\">Balicasag<\/a> in the Philippines, but also in <a href=\"https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/en\/plongeurs-securite-sipadan-20131215\/\">Sipadan<\/a> in Malaysia, at <a href=\"https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/en\/komodo\/\">Komodo<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/en\/raja-ampat-diving-travel-tips-20130303\/\">Raja Ampat<\/a> in Indonesia... <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On divers' or travelers' forums, I sometimes read comments from people who are outraged to have to pay a tax to access some of these marine protected areas, in Asia or elsewhere - some of them even congratulating themselves for having managed to avoid paying it... <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing to brag about. Part of the money collected is used to involve local people in the conservation of their environment and fishery resources. But awareness and good will are not enough. Without financial means, it is impossible to protect a maritime area from poaching, concreting, overexploitation or pollution... <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/cabilao-reefs.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/petitesbullesdailleurs.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/cabilao-reefs-770x513.jpg\" alt=\"It wriggles on the reef ...
