The Philippines is undoubtedly the perfect place to relax in the midst of numerous beaches, often uninhabited islands and amazing dives.
In addition to large urban centers, life flows there very slowly. This favors the insular, holiday atmosphere and the kindness of the people living there. The Philippines is also an amazing cuisine with many Asian seafood flavors and spicy additions. Diving in the Philippines is undoubtedly something we can recommend to everyone.

The trip we want to offer is a mix of several top Philippine diving areas. Everyone, both a diving and non-diving person will find something there. Diving in the Philippines is not difficult.
The depths at which we will dive range from 15 to 30m maximum.
The first place on our route is Alona Beach. Alona Beach is famous for meeting hammer sharks and a super colorful reef. There you can find barracuda shoals, a large number of turtles, small sharks sleeping in caves, reef walls with rich corals and gorgonias, and of course a lot of macro animals. It is a mix of different types of dives. Without a doubt, the place belongs to our favorites in the Philippines.
Alona Beach outside the diving resort has much more to offer. A wide beach and countless restaurants that the place is a great location for holidays and relaxation if, for example, someone will not want to dive :)
The next place on the route of our trip will be Dauin, a small village located a dozen or so kilometers south of Dumaguete. It is a paradise for all lovers of tiny creatures inhabiting the reefs. You can meet huge schools of pelagic fish and small sea creatures. Dumaguete ranks second on the world list of "Makro Dive Sites" in which the region can be seen in countless, small-scale sea animals. In Dauin you can find the strangest varieties of seahorses, octopus, Frog fish, crabs, shrimps and other representatives of the sea freaks;)
With 3 dives available per day, we will be able to get to know each and every distant reef of the area.


We are starting a diving trip to the Philippines from a long flight from Poland to Cebu in the Philippines. In the Cebu Airport car park, change to buses and drive for about 3 hours including a ferry crossing to the island of Bohol. Shortly after the cruise, we change into another bus and drive to the southern part of the island of Bohol, in the area of Alona Beach.
In Alona, we will be accommodated in the Alona Vida Beach Resort in the Delux rooms. It is a small seaside resort with a swimming pool in the central part of the courtyard, quite an interesting green part and a great location. The area around the resort is very rich with restaurants, bars and a wide nice beach. Perfect conditions for rest during the day and a party in good company in the evening. The area is ideal for all the water attractions and relaxation that you can think of while on vacation.
One of the reasons we stop at this place is the beautiful beaches and the location of the resort right next to the water's edge.

The first day of our stay is relaxation and rest after a long journey. The next days will be devoted to diving. Every day we will be doing about 3 dives with night diving as an option for those willing. Every morning, after breakfast, we will sail for 2 dives, after which we will return to the resort for a small break / lunch and sail for one last day of the dive. There is a possibility of night diving for those willing. It is worth using the minimum once!
After 4 days of diving we will take a break. Some people will be able to relax, for example, in a hammock, and those who have a rest in their noses can go with the rest of the group on a trip to the chocolate hills. The program of the trip has a stop at the viewpoint right next to an interesting mountain range which looks like a bar of chocolate with the right light. We will go to the local market, we will stay in one of the larger places around. We will see the park where the smallest monkeys live, and for lunch we will choose a fairly large barge which we will sail down the Loboc river. We will eat and admire the surrounding nature.
The next day is checking out and transferring to the Dauin village and resort of Pura Vida Beach Resort on the island of Negros.

An interesting proposal to transfer to the new location is "Transfer Diving" :) We pack only personal items into suitcases and leave diving equipment in diving boxes as we left before, finishing diving. On the route to Dauin we will do two very cool reef dives. So, not wasting time on the "empty flight" on the way to the next place, we do two very cool dives. Around the lunchtime, we're leaving for Dauin and settling in at the Pura Vida Beach Resort.
The Pura-Vida resort should appeal to everyone. We will be accommodated in houses built of bamboo with a fairly high standard. Each bungalow is equipped with a living area with beds covered with a mosquito net, a terrace and a bathroom with hot and cold water. Dauin is a peaceful place. In contrast to Alona Beach, it is a place where you can calmly contemplate and dive. The resort is located right on the beach with a swimming pool and a beach bar on the edge of the water. The resort belongs to the higher standard places. You will convince yourself :)

We go to Dauin mainly for Makro scuba diving. This is the second diving spot in the world right after Indonesian Lembeh where you can meet the most, the strangest marine animals. A multitude of lives can surprise many a diver. From bizarre frogfish, seahorses by octopus, colorful shrimps and crabs, and crawfish to rare species of fish. It is an ideal place for photographers who want to amaze more than one person with their photos.
We will spend 6 nights at the Pura-Vida Beach Resort. With 3 dives available a day, we can easily get to know all the attractions of the place.
Attention! north of Dauin there is a place where a long time ago a fisherman got to know and befriended a whale shark, feeding him regularly tamed the giant. Currently, not one, and often several, a dozen or more whale sharks come to the Oslob region. The place became very famous and available for scuba divers. Every day until noon hours there is the possibility and 100% confident diving with a minimum of 1 whale shark. Being in a place in Dauin, we will try to make a reservation for this unique diving.
