The Cathedral is one of the more famous dive sites around the Anilao area. It became famous when former Philippine President Fidel V.

It is a relatively easy dive site and is it where most diving students do their check-out dive. I did a night dive here before during my check out dive for my advance course few years back.

Verde Island Diving is excellent, with warm water, 30m plus on average visibility and good fish and coral life all add up to a world class destination. Depending on state of tide the current on the wall face can be nothing to very strong >3 knts and very easy to miss the duck back around/over the wall, at the end to get out of current and into shelter, and not get swept away from the island. But a drift along the wall is a must. Southeast of verde island; there are two rocks at the surface. Verde Island Wall is also known as Verde Island Drop Off.
