What Divers' Dreams are Made Of - An Invitation to Discover the Philippines' Top Dive Spots  

The Philippines is to scuba divers what Switzerland is to skiers, Hawaii to surfers and Nepal to mountaineers. This is a place you must visit at least once, to experience the real heart of the sport. The country is a veritable smorgasbord of world-class dive sites set in a lush tropical environment with all the trappings you could ever wish for.

The Philippines is a scuba diver's dream come true. The warm waters surrounding the 7,107 islands of the Philippines present an underwater wildlife extravaganza, so spectacular that divers return for an average of 10 trips each.

Dive into crystal-clear waters--underwater visibility is up to 60 meters--discover shipwrecks, cliffs covered with sponges, colorful corals, gorgonians, turtles, sharks, rays, and even the very rarely seen exotic fishes like Spanish Dancer nudibranch, harlequin ghost-pipefish, camouflaged frogfish and fire gobies. Thanks to the convergence of the nutrient-rich waters of the Pacific Ocean, South China Sea and Celebes Sea, you will be a spectator to an aquatic symphony of over 2,000 species of marine fish as well as more than 400 out of the 500 known coral species in the world.

The Philippines is divided into 3 geographical areas: Luzon, Visayas & Mindanao. All regions offer premier destinations for divers amidst a lush tropical environment with excellent underwater vistas.

So whether you want to experience relaxing dives with spectacular views, explore wrecks and walls, or perfect your macro photography skills, visit the Philippines for the best of all worlds.
