DIVING enthusiasts have started to flock to Asturias, northwestern Cebu since the Municipal Government opened its dive spots on April 19, 2024, which bodes well for the town’s tourism industry.Twenty-seven individuals have so far explored Asturias’ waters, said Joann Juliane Rosario of the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office in a Messenger interview.
Adolfo said the opening of the diving sites is a big help to the town’s tourism and brings revenues to the local government. He said accommodations in the town are also improving. The Municipal Government has partnered with a diving school from Mactan Island, which helped with the planning, launching and operation of the diving spots.The same dive center trained local guides and dive masters.
