Best Scuba Diving in the Philippines: Complete Travel Guide, Dive Sites, Costs & Tips
Introduction The Philippines is one of the top scuba diving destinations in the world! If you're looking for world-class scuba diving, the Philippines should be near the top of your list. Sitting at the heart of the Coral Triangle; the global centre of marine biodiversity, this archipelago of over 7,600 islands packs an extraordinary range of dive experiences into one destination. Think pristine coral gardens, dramatic walls, WWII shipwrecks, and some of the richest marine life on the planet. Whether you're brand new to diving or have hundreds of dives under your wetsuit, the Philippines delivers. Warm waters, affordable prices, and incredible variety make it one of those rare destinations that genuinely works for everyone. Why Dive the Philippines? A few things set the Philippines apart from other top dive destinations: Water temperatures average 26–30°C year-round; no wetsuit required Exceptional marine biodiversity, from huge pelagics to tiny macro critters Dive sites to suit all experience levels, from shallow reefs to deep walls Some of the most affordable diving and certification courses in the world A thriving wreck diving scene alongside world-class reef diving A reputation as one of the best destinations on Earth for underwater macro photograph Simply put, it's hard to come away disappointed. Best Dive Sites in the Philippines Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park: Best for Advanced Divers Widely regarded as the crown jewel of Philippine diving, Tubbataha is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the remote Sulu Sea. Its pristine reefs, exceptional visibility, and regular encounters with sharks, manta rays, and large pelagics make it genuinely special. The catch? It's liveaboard-only and only open from mid-March to mid-June. So, planning ahead is essential. Best for: Advanced divers and liveaboard enthusiasts Apo Island: Best for Turtle Encounters Apo Island is one of Southeast Asia's most celebrated marine conservation success stories. The local community-managed reserve has resulted in thriving, healthy reefs and an almost guaranteed chance of swimming alongside sea turtles. Calm conditions and relatively shallow sites make it an excellent choice for newer divers too. Best for: Beginners and intermediate divers, marine conservation lovers Malapascua Island: Best for Thresher Sharks Malapascua is the only place in the world where you can reliably dive with thresher sharks. These distinctive deep-water sharks visit a cleaning station called Monad Shoal in the early mornings, making for a genuinely bucket-list encounter. Factor in clear waters and a range of other dive sites nearby and you've got a compelling destination in its own right. Best for: Intermediate divers, pelagic and shark enthusiasts Coron, Palawan: Best for Wreck Diving Coron is one of the finest wreck diving destinations in all of Asia. The area is home to a fleet of Japanese WWII supply ships sunk in a 1944 US air raid, now resting at recreational depths and beautifully encrusted with coral. The wrecks range from beginner-accessible to technically challenging, so there's something for divers at different levels. Best for: Wreck diving enthusiasts, history lovers, intermediate to advanced divers Puerto Galera, Mindoro: Best for Accessibility Just a few hours from Manila, Puerto Galera punches well above its weight for a destination this easy to reach. Verde Island Passage, which runs through this area is considered one of the most biodiverse stretches of water on the planet. Dive centres are plentiful, conditions are consistent, and the range of sites is impressive. Best for: All levels; ideal for those based in Manila or short on time Anilao, Batangas: Best for Macro Photography Anilao is the spiritual home of macro diving in the Philippines. The muck and reef diving here turns up rare and extraordinary small marine life; pygmy seahorses, frogfish, flamboyant cuttlefish, and nudibranchs galore. It's also a quick drive from Manila, making it a favourite weekend destination for dive-obsessed city dwellers. Best for: Underwater photographers, macro diving enthusiasts How to Book Philippines Scuba Diving Trips Booking a dive trip is simple with our platform that allows you to compare locations, prices, and dive operators. Choose your destination, check inclusions, and confirm your booking securely online. Philippines Scuba Diving Costs One of the Philippines' biggest selling points is how affordable it is compared to other top dive destinations. Experience Typical Price Range Single fun dive USD $30–$80 Open Water certification USD $300–$500 Advanced Open Water course USD $250–$400 Liveaboard trips USD $1,000–$2,000+ Note: Coron wreck dives often sit at the higher end of the fun dive range due to depth and additional equipment requirements. Prices also vary by location, season, and operator — liveaboard trips to Tubbataha will naturally sit above standard resort diving. Best Time to Dive the Philippines November to May is generally the sweet spot; calmer seas, better visibility, and more predictable conditions across most of the archipelago. June to October is typhoon season. Many areas become less accessible, though some dive destinations on the eastern side of the country (Malapascua, Leyte) can still deliver excellent diving depending on conditions. Tubbataha specifically is only open from mid-March to mid-June. If that's on your list, plan your trip accordingly and book early; liveaboard spots fill fast. Practical Travel Tips Book ahead during peak season (December to April) Popular dive centres and liveaboards fill up quickly Match the site to your level: Tubbataha and some Coron wrecks require solid buoyancy control and prior experience Use reef-safe sunscreen: Standard practice across Philippine marine parks and conservation areas Check regional weather: The Philippines is a large archipelago and conditions vary significantly between the east and west coasts Sort your certification before you go: Most dive operators require a recognised certification (PADI, SSI, RAID, etc.) for independent diving; discovery dives are available for beginners FAQ Is the Philippines good for scuba diving? Absolutely; it consistently ranks among the world's top diving destinations. Between the biodiversity, the variety of sites, and the affordability, it's genuinely hard to beat. What are the best dive sites in the Philippines? Tubbataha, Apo Island, Malapascua, Coron, Puerto Galera, and Anilao are all standout destinations, each with their own character and speciality. Is the Philippines good for beginner divers? Yes. Apo Island, Puerto Galera, and many sites around Cebu offer calm, shallow conditions that are perfect for newer divers. How much does diving cost? Fun dives start from around USD $30, with Open Water certifications from approximately USD $300. Liveaboard trips range considerably depending on the destination. When is the best time to visit? November to May offers the best overall conditions. Tubbataha is only accessible between mid-March and mid-June. Can I see sharks? Yes, thresher sharks at Malapascua, reef sharks at Tubbataha and throughout the archipelago, and occasional whale sharks in certain areas during the season. Is wreck diving available? Coron is one of Asia's premier wreck diving destinations, with a collection of WWII Japanese wrecks at diveable depths. Do I need certification? Certification is required for independent diving. Most operators offer beginner 'discover scuba' experiences that don't require prior certification, supervised by an instructor. Ready to dive the Philippines?

This unique perspective puts us on the frontlines, often being the first to witness the impacts of climate change on our oceans. This is what makes our voices so powerful. ~ Sarah Franke, Divers for Climate Why This Matters to Divers Divers are in a unique position.

Scuba diving is not the same everywhere. Some places are known for sharks and strong currents, while others are calm, shallow, and ideal for beginners. Choosing the right destination depends on your experience level, budget, and what marine life you want to see.
Learn moreIs Spearfishing Ethical? (Really)
Is Spearfishing Ethical? (Really) Learn to Spearfish Sustainably This may seem a little controversial coming from passionate marine lovers and fish admirers. But let’s take a moment to talk about spearfishing; the underwater hunt that’s often criticized and as I’ve come to realise, quite misunderstood. Contrary to popular belief, spearfishing is more than a reckless pursuit of adrenaline—when done correctly! I personally can’t recall the last time seafood touched my tongue however, I now recognise and appreciate that this is more than a sport. It’s a blend of discipline and apnea mastery rooted in a serious respect for the ocean. And it’s arguably the most ethical and intentional way to put seafood on a plate. But don’t take my word for it; we’ve hauled in the experts to break it all down and answer the ultimate question, is spearfishing ethical? The guys at Aquatic Apes are all about the spearo life and this sustainable approach to fishing. Not to toot any horns, but they’re kind of a big deal in the underwater world with millions of loyal YouTube subs. Seafood Consumption Crisis 181 million tonnes! This is the projected annual global seafood consumption by 2030. To put it into perspective, 100 tonnes is the equivalent to one blue whale or a Boeing 757. Believe it or not, aquatic foods are consumed more than chicken, pork, beef, and sheep. With seafood products being the largest traded food commodity worldwide. And while 85% of marine fish stocks are either fully exploited or overfished, nearly 15% goes to waste with many fisheries discarding more than they keep. Spearfishing vs. Fishing (In All Other Forms) When you consider the ludicrous global seafood demand and the commercial fishing methods used to meet these—it all reeks of oceanic disaster on a tragic scale. Overfishing? Check. Bycatch? Check. Ocean floor destruction? Double check. Trawlers don’t discriminate, scooping up everything from sea turtles to dugongs and their grandmothers. But spearfishing? It really is a different story. Zero Bycatch – You intentionally select your targets. No nets, no waste, no "oops, we mangled another family of dolphins." Sustainability on Point – You only take what you need, which means fish populations stay healthy and thriving. No Environmental Damage – No nets tearing up coral reefs, no longlines hooking the eyeballs of unintended manta rays. Ultimate Skill Test – If you want dinner, you have to earn it. It’s that simple. Fish get a Fair Chance – Fish can spot a spearo way before the spearo spots them! Let’s compare, shall we...? Before heading out on a spearfishing trip, you’re greeted by experts who teach you the ways of the local marine life and waters. You warm up with target practice in the pool. Now you’re focused and ready. You cruise out to the best dive site, take your final breath, and sink below the surface with ease. The hunt is on. You’re scanning bluewaters for that perfect catch. Cautious of your every move and careful not to disturb the world around you. Then you spot it, the one. Your dive buddy gives you the nod. You aim with precision, squeeze the trigger, and it’s yours. This my friends, is the spearfishing difference. Learn to Spearfish Sustainably Spearfishing Courses Learning to ethically select your target is a key element of a spearfishing course. You’ll be trained to identify suitable species and only take what you need—because being a responsible hunter means thinking beyond the thrill of the catch. A little training goes a long way for our fish populations and for your skillset. You’ll spend time doing target practice in a pool to simulate diving with a speargun, learning to reload, and becoming familiar with the feel of shooting. You’ll also work on controlling your body underwater so you don’t bump and kick the reef, causing irreversible damage. With all these skills, when that 8ft Wahoo swims right up to your face, you’ll be more than ready. Freediving Courses Want to comfortably hang out at depth? Ergo, increase your chances of the best catch?! A freediving course is your secret weapon. Mastering breath-holds and relaxation will dramatically improve your bottom time, giving you the extra edge when it comes to landing that dream fish. While also providing all the safety training and protocols to equip you and your dive buddies. Bonus—it’s super fun! Spearfishing Charters After a day in the water, there’s nothing better than reliving the highlights with your fellow spearos over self-caught, fresh, and perfectly prepared meals. And waking up to do it all again the next day! There’s a huge variety of spearfishing charters suitable for all levels, from half-day trips to week-long expeditions and beyond. Each day, you’ll explore different dive sites with different species, receive expert guidance, and experience infinite opportunities to land all the best catches. Best Spearfishing Spots Now that we’ve established how to be the best spearfisher, let’s talk about where to spearfish. Some of the best spearfishing destinations include: Bali and remote Indonesia, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia as well as Fiji, Hawaii and Norway. But our top pick is Bali, baby! This island paradise isn’t just about surf breaks and smoothie bowls—it’s an epic freediving and spearfishing destination. Bali spearfishing offers tropical climates and ideal water conditions. It’s also the perfect starting point before chasing larger species all around Indonesia. Uluwatu, specifically, is the perfect year-round destination that draws in a vibrant global community. Beyond being a laid-back paradise of cool peeps, endless cafes, gyms, beach clubs (and the list goes on), the diversity of marine life is seriously hard to beat. Some of the locals here include Mahi Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Marlin, Triple Tail, Bonito, Sailfish and Amberjacks. We’re talking about the VIP’s of spearfishing up to 150kg (330lb).
Learn more8 Reasons a Red Sea Liveaboard is the Ultimate Adventure
8 Reasons a Red Sea Liveaboard is the Ultimate Adventure Epic Egypt Diving Trips 2025 Diving the Red Sea is like stepping into an underwater fairy tale—where vivid coral reefs burst with life, historic shipwrecks lie in eternal slumber, and shimmering fish of every hue dance in crystal-clear waters. But wait, why settle for a dive or two when you could take it to the next level with a Red Sea liveaboard? Trust us; you’re going to want to pack your bags (and your fins) for this one. Let’s dive right in and explore what makes the Red Sea so magical and why liveaboards are the ultimate way to experience it. Why Dive the Red Sea? The Perks of a Liveaboard Red Sea Diving Highlights What to look for in a Liveaboard Tips for Liveaboard Life Why Dive the Red Sea? Located between the northeastern corner of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, the Red Sea has long been a mecca for divers from around the globe. Its warm waters, excellent visibility (we’re talking up to 30 meters), and diverse marine life make it a dream destination for free diving and scuba diving alike. With over 1,200 species of fish and 200 species of coral, many of which you’ll only find here, it’s no wonder the Red Sea is often called one of the seven wonders of the underwater world. Oh, and did we mention the shipwrecks? From the hauntingly beautiful SS Thistlegorm to the Dunraven, these underwater time capsules offer a glimpse into history, making Egypt diving not just an adventure but also a journey through time. The Perks of a Liveaboard Now, imagine this: instead of commuting back to a hotel after each dive, you’re lounging on the deck of a liveaboard, sipping something cold, as the sun sets over the horizon. That’s the magic of liveaboard diving. It’s not just a trip; it’s an experience. Here’s why a Red Sea liveaboard should be on your bucket list: 1. Dive, Eat, Sleep, Repeat: A liveaboard maximizes your time in the water. With multiple dives scheduled daily—and sometimes even night dives—you’ll explore a variety of dive sites that would be impossible to cover in a standard resort-based itinerary. Plus, everything’s taken care of for you. Meals? Sorted. Gear? Ready to go. Your biggest challenge? Deciding whether you want seconds at dinner. 2. Access to Remote Dive Sites: Some of the best spots in the Red Sea are off the beaten path. Liveaboards give you access to remote reefs and wrecks that are far from the reach of day boats. Places like the Brothers Islands, Daedalus Reef, and Elphinstone are renowned for their breathtaking beauty and thrilling encounters with pelagic species like hammerhead sharks and oceanic whitetips. 3. Do a Freediving Course onboard: One of the coolest perks of a liveaboard is the chance to up your diving game. On most of our trips, you can complete your freediving course and receive certification right onboard, with expert instructors guiding you every step of the way. Imagine leveling up your skills in one of the most stunning underwater classrooms on the planet! 4. All About the Vibe Tribe: There’s something special about bonding with fellow ocean lovers over shared adventures. A liveaboard is like Summer Camp for grown-ups—except with better food, more laughs, and in this case, hundreds of dolphins joining the party. By the end of the trip, you’ll have made lifelong friends and collected stories to tell for years to come. Red Sea Diving Highlights Soak up some of the best Freediving spots with the best humans from around the world - check out the epic vibes of this adventure. Trust us, it’s an experience you don’t want to miss! 5. Coral Gardens: The Red Sea’s coral reefs are unlike anything else on Earth. You’ll swim through vibrant gardens where soft corals sway like underwater flowers, and hard corals form intricate structures that look like something out of a Dr. Seuss book. Ras Mohammed National Park is a standout, boasting some of the most pristine reefs in the world. 6. Marine Life: Whether you’re a free diver reveling in the silence or a scuba diver bubbling away, the marine life in the Red Sea is mind-blowing. From playful dolphins and majestic manta rays to tiny nudibranchs and schools of glittering anthias, it’s a biodiversity bonanza. With hundreds of playful dolphins in the region, visiting Sataya Dolphin House reef is a must, especially if you can join one of the specialty dolphin workshops designed to make the most of this unique experience. And if you’re lucky, you might even spot a dugong or two. 7. Shipwrecks: Wreck diving in the Red Sea is a must. The Abu Galawa wreck, a famously stunning coral-covered tugboat, offers a unique diving experience suitable for beginners and beyond with its vibrant marine life and fascinating history. The SS Thistlegorm, a British World War II cargo ship, is an underwater museum filled with motorbikes, trucks, and wartime supplies, all encrusted with coral. The Dunraven and Rosalie Moller are also worth a visit, each with its own unique story and marine inhabitants. 8. Shark Encounters:Adrenaline junkies, rejoice! The Red Sea is a hotspot for sharks. Depending on the season, you can encounter hammerheads, grey reef sharks, silky sharks, and even the elusive tiger shark. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of seeing one of these magnificent creatures glide past you in their natural habitat. What to look for in a Liveaboard? Okay, so we’ve sold you on the idea of a Red Sea liveaboard (you’re welcome). But what makes DiveBookings.com so special? Well, our liveaboards combine top-notch vessels, expert guides, activities, workshops and access to some of the best dive sites in the region. Here’s what you should look for when choosing a liveaboard (and a sneak peek of what to expect sailing with us): Comfortable Accommodation: Tidy cabins on board a well-kept vessel with all the amenities you need for a week at sea. You want a floating boutique hotel, but with better views. Delicious Cuisine: The onboard chefs will be whipping up meals that are as memorable as the dives themselves. Fresh, flavorful, and guaranteed to keep you fueled for the next adventure. Expert Guides: Whether you’re new to free diving or a seasoned pro, the crew will have your back.

Workshops Aplenty: Immerse yourself in daily activities both onboard and on secluded islands (your legs will thank you), whilst getting amongst wildlife interaction workshops such as those designed for Sataya Dolphin House Reef to ensure the happiness of our finned friends. Tailored Itineraries: These trips should be designed to showcase the best of the Red Sea, from the iconic sites to the hidden gems. No two days should be the same, and every dive will be a new adventure. Tips for Liveaboard Life Pack Smart: Space on a liveaboard is limited, so bring only what you need. Essentials include dive gear, sunscreen (reef-safe, of course), and your sense of adventure. Stay Hydrated: Diving can be dehydrating, so drink plenty of water. And maybe save the celebratory drinks for after the last dive of the day. Bring a Camera: You’ll want to capture the stunning underwater scenery, but remember to stay present in the moment, too. Some memories are best kept in your heart. Be Respectful: The Red Sea is a delicate ecosystem. Avoid touching corals or disturbing marine life, and always follow the guide’s instructions. Let’s keep this paradise pristine for generations to come. The Red Sea is more than just a diving destination; it’s a journey into a world of wonder and awe. And with a Red Sea liveaboard, you’re not just visiting—you’re immersing yourself in it. So whether you’re a free diver chasing the serenity of the deep or a scuba diver eager to explore every nook and cranny, this is an experience you’ll never forget.
