Romblon

Romblon in the Philippines is a province located in the middle of the country and just north of the world-famous Boracay. The province consists of several islands with Romblon Tablas as the large island where the airport is located. But it is Romblon Romblon that is the island in the province with the best and most developed diving. There are very few diving centers here and the focus is on macro, night diving and blackwater diving. The airport is located on the larger island of Tablas and it takes about two hours to get from the airport by car and boat. The last part is by tricycle.

The island is known for its fine marble and there are also some fantastic beaches. Bonbon beach is a fabulously beautiful beach that changes appearance with the tides and seasons. A nice afternoon trip and why not combine it with a visit to town and see the small shops or go up to the fort with a fantastic view of Romblon. The island is also known as the marble city. If you want to buy marble, it is fantastically cheap here. However, it is heavy so think about the weight of your luggage.

In principle, you can combine Romblon in the Philippines with which other destinations you want but a trip via Manila is pretty much absolutely necessary and with an overnight stay there. We arrange good hotels for you when you book your diving trip.

Also various species of pygmy seahorses and lots of gobies, triplefins and other bottom-dwelling fish species.

Weather: Romblon is weather sensitive and it is January - May that applies here, possibly June. You can go here all year round normally even though it can be very windy. The problem is the rains and the wind which means that the flights can't always landa and often cancelled. There are no places to book accommodation and then you have to take a ferry for 10 hours to be able to get on by car to an airport. The water temperature is often 27-30 °C although it normally creeps a little lower in January-February. The marine life is otherwise very good all year round.
