About Underwater Cave
The Underwater Cave is a marine cave located off the coast of Barangay Boca Engano in Claveria, Masbate, Philippines. Situated in the northern tip of Masbate Island facing the Burias Pass, it is accessible only by boat and requires swimming or diving to enter. The cave is noted for its submerged entrance, clear waters, and rock formations. It is a lesser-known natural attraction in Claveria, visited by local tourists, snorkelers and divers exploring the municipality's coastal areas.

The site consists of clear seawater, rocky coastline and an underwater cavern that can be viewed by swimming, snorkeling or free-diving when sea conditions are calm.
