Luxury Diving Holidays in Dumaguete & Dauin

Coral bommies are visited by banded sea snakes and resident hairy squat lobsters dwell in the crevices on huge barrel sponges. Reef divers need not despair at the prospect of a scuba diving holiday solely focused on mucky sites, as the nearby marine sanctuary Apo Island is home to over 400 coral species and 600 reef fish species. Green turtles here are enormous and the reefs are plentiful and pristine. Daily trips are arranged and the diving here is suitable for beginners and snorkellers too, with the reeftop rising up to the shallows.  

Beyond the Reef

Scuba diving is not the only activity to enjoy during a diving holiday in Dumaguete and Dauin, as there is a whole host of excursions and activities to keep guests occupied when they’re out of the water. Treks to local waterfalls or thrilling ATV tours can be arranged, as well as ziplining and mountain biking for thrill-seekers. A trip to the local market with the chef to collect ingredients and learn to cook traditional Philippine dishes can be arranged. Island hopping trips by traditional bangka allow guests to explore the entire region with its caves, waterfalls and white sand beaches on Siquijor.  

Please note that although whale shark snorkelling trips are offered in Oslob, we do not advocate this because of the overcrowded conditions and poor treatment of the whale sharks.
