Bongo Bongo Divers

PADI 5 Star Dive Center

Bongo Bongo Divers is a midsized, friendly PADI 5 Star Platinum Instructor Development Center and Eco Center just next to the best beach in Dauin, Negros Oriental, 30 minutes south of Dumaguete in the Philippines. For more than ten years we have trained divers from their very first breath underwater all the way to PADI Instructor, and our guests rate us 4.8 stars on both Google and TripAdvisor.

Dauin is one of the world's great muck and macro destinations. More than 825 fish species have been recorded along this coast, and our guides know exactly where to find frogfish, seahorses, ghost pipefish, mimic and wonderpus octopus, harlequin shrimp, flamboyant cuttlefish and countless nudibranchs. Between the black-sand critter sites lie protected marine sanctuaries with coral gardens and green turtles. A short boat ride away, Apo Island offers some of the healthiest reefs in the Philippines, with turtles, schooling jacks and vast hard and soft coral gardens. Our full-day Apo trip includes three dives and lunch.

Why divers choose us:

  • Small groups: a maximum of four divers per guide, and usually two or three students per instructor
  • Our own pool, classroom and calm house reef (Dauin North), so training is relaxed and never rushed by boat schedules
  • Shore dives, boat dives, night dives and Apo Island day trips, plus Nitrox, DPV scooters and sidemount
  • Every PADI course from Discover Scuba Diving and Open Water to Rescue, specialties, Divemaster and the Instructor Development Course
  • A PADI Eco Center and Green Fins member: we run reef clean-ups and Dive Against Debris surveys and dive with respect for the reef
  • A team that speaks English, Spanish, French, German, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Filipino

Stay with us on site, in rooms ranging from dorm beds to air-conditioned private rooms. Our restaurant serves home-roasted coffee, and we can arrange transfers from Dumaguete airport. Whether you want your first dive, your hundredth frogfish or a new career, we would love to dive with you.
