Description
Portulano Dive Resort is an award-winning PADI dive center, with a salt water training pool on site and a house reef just 10 meters away.
Excellent scuba diving and snorkeling sites are just 3-5 minutes away. From exciting high-voltage dives with pelagics in Bahura-Ligpo and Pinnacle to macro subjects and fish-filled dives in the nearby sanctuary.
It's the perfect place for underwater photography. Being in the center of the coral triangle along the verde island passage presents incredible opportunities for seeing unique creatures. Colorful sites, walls and reefs also offer many opportunities for beautiful wide angle shots.
Simple and efficient, the camera room has a drying area at the entrance where you can air spray the water out of your UW camera housing. There are charging and assembly stations with towels for drying. A humidifier cabinet is available to keep cameras safe from moisture in case you want to keep your digital bundle extra dry.
The local guides and Divemasters have keen eyes and good knowledge of marine life behaviour and a deep respect for the environment. They are well-trained in terms of diving, rescue and safety skills.
