The Philippines has more or less everything, and it’s all in warm waters. There are over 7,100 islands surrounded by clear seas and we have hundreds of coral species and even more species of fish.
Best of all, the Philippines offers incredibly good value diving in a series of high quality comfortable resorts.
There is muck and macro diving, which offers wonderful photographic opportunities, the house reefs around Negros and Panglao are perfect for this.
Apo Island, Apo Reef and Tubbataha Reefs are synonymous with pelagics and there you can see Tuna, Sharks and schools of Jacks and Barracuda.
There are steep walls at Pescador Island, Balicasag Island and Cabilao full of sea life and excitement. At Malapascua you will find one of the few dive sites in the world where you have a good chance to see Thresher Sharks.
Siquijor and Boracay have gentle slopes and very pretty reefs. Boracay also has the famed Yapak wall where big Pelagics will glide past you at 30m deep.
Coron is justifiably famous for its World War 2 wrecks, over 10 Japanese boats lie in waters shallow enough for recreational divers to explore them – all set in a backdrop of astonishingly beautiful scenery.
On the north side of Busuanga Island, at Dimakya island, not only can you reach Apo Reef but you can also take the opportunity to dive with dugongs.
Puerto Galera has dozens of dive sites within a very short distance of the resorts. Perhaps the best known being Canyons where strong currents will give you an exhilarating ride and Verde Island home to great numbers of fish.
Anilao which is just a short dive from Manila is home to great reefs and makes for the perfect weekend or short dive break.
There’s night diving, technical diving, rebreather diving, diving in lakes and so much more that you just have to keep coming back time after time.
And all this set in a tropical bliss with warm seas, sandy beaches, green palm trees, fantastic food and drink and friendly people. Your holiday here can be as lively or as quiet as you want it to be, you don’t ever have to travel far to find a deserted cove, beach or tranquil space and yet the impromptu party is always just around the corner!
