Diving in the Philippines

Explore diving in the Philippines

The Philippines has thousands of dive sites. Whatever your dive experience, you are sure to be spoilt for choice.

The Luzon region near Manila is the perfect place to begin your scuba adventure. With easy beach entries and plentiful macro life, thousands of divers use the area to get certified every year. For wreck diving, Subic Bay offers divers the chance to get up close and personal with sunken WWII warships. Soft coral, turtles, a plethora of fish species and sea snakes call the wrecks home.

In terms of marine life there are thresher sharks, whale sharks, schools of jacks, sardine balls and rays. The Philippines is the perfect destination for gaining and perfecting new scuba skills while enjoying a wide array of underwater life and an easy-going vacation above the water.
