The geological forces that formed the Philippine archipelago also sculpted its underwater world. Volcanic seamounts rise from the depths, while deep trenches carve through the seafloor, creating a complex bathymetry that drives oceanic currents and isolates marine populations. This topogr…

Dive Area & Sites

The Philippines is a biodiversity hotspot within the Coral Triangle, offering an incredible range of diving experiences across its 7,000+ islands. Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Sulu Sea, features pristine walls and large pelagic encounters including manta rays, whale sharks, and hammerhead sharks. The Visayas region is famous for thresher shark encounters at Malapascua and sardine runs at Moalboal, while Anilao and Dumaguete offer world-class macro diving with frogfish, blue-ringed octopus, and flamboyant cuttlefish. Apo Reef, one of the largest contiguous coral reef systems in Asia, hosts healthy populations of sea turtles, reef sharks, and Napoleon wrasse. The warm waters, exceptional biodiversity, and friendly local diving culture make the Philippines one of Southeast Asia's most rewarding diving destinations.

Insurance Recommendation

We strongly recommend all guests to purchase comprehensive dive accident insurance and trip cancellation insurance before departure. Dive accident insurance covers medical treatment, hyperbaric chamber costs, and emergency evacuation in the event of a diving incident. Trip cancellation insurance protects your financial investment, not only if you need to cancel or cut short your trip due to personal illness, injury, or other unforeseen circumstances, but also if the trip is postponed or cancelled by the operator due to severe weather, technical issues, or other operational reasons. In the unlikely event of operator insolvency, cancellation insurance can also help recover your payments. Please ensure your policies are valid for the entire duration of your trip and cover the planned activities.

Medical Form Required

A valid dive medical certificate or an accepted medical form is required for all guests on this vessel. You can submit a doctor's certificate confirming your fitness to dive, or complete and sign the medical form yourself if the form and operator permit self-declaration. If your answers or the operator's rules require medical clearance, a doctor's approval is mandatory; signing at your own risk does not replace it. Permission to dive remains subject to the operator's requirements. Download the form, complete it for each guest and upload the signed document in your booking area.

Rental Gear

Complete Kit (comprising Regulator, Computer, Mask, BCD, Snorkel, Fins, and Torch): $150–$260 for the duration · Regulator Assembly: $60–$90 for the duration
