This paper attempts to produce a geo-referenced 3D bathymetric profile off the coastal waters of Limasawa Island. It is located 4 miles (6 km) from the southern tip of the island of Leyte just outside the mouth of Sogod Bay. This study used an experimental design. Field measurements were gathered using a fish finder and chart plotter. A total of 1,627 waypoints were marked and processed using QGIS. Findings revealed that the western side of the island is relatively deep with readings not exceeding 100 meters, while the eastern side specifically at the northern edge is deep enough for port construction with readings exceeding 150 meters. The bathymetric profile of the coastal waters of Limasawa Island was georeferenced, wherein the numerical values were very consistent with the 3D visualizations. Percentage error is well within tolerance.
