DIVE SAFARIS (Brief Introduction)

The ultimate adventures in diving are safaris, the highlights in scuba diving. Starting at Alona Beach, Panglao, Bohol we will bring you to the most incredible dive sites in the Visayas region. Safaris will end either in Bohol or Mactan Island.

We offer 4 or 8 days safaris. For every safari there must be a minimum of 4 participants. A comfortable Filipino style outrigger banca
brings us to Dive Sites like Balicasag Island (4 dive spots), Apo Island (12 dive spots), Malapascua Island (Cebu, 11 dive spots) and Moalboal.

We stay overnight at selected resorts with changing ambient from island to island. This is a perfect way of exploring the Philippine archipelago.
There is always enough time to relax on board or at the resorts. Included in the package are: Full board, accommodations, diving, tanks and weight, boat, diesel, crew, guide, snacks and mineral water on board.

If you are with a dive club and you have set a group of divers, we can help you organizing your custom made safari.

Please understand that we are concerning your experience level. If you are for example a newly certified diver, we eventually skip dive sites requiring more dive experiences.

Should you have any question’s regarding safaris, we will be happy to assist you: diving@phildivers.com
