Explore More, Dive Deeper!

Ready to take your diving skills to the next level? Our Advanced Open Water Diver course is designed for certified Open Water divers who want to explore a wider variety of dive sites and refine their underwater techniques. This exciting course opens the door to new adventures and makes you more confident and competent underwater. What you’ll learn:

This hands-on course focuses on experiencing and developing your skills through 5 different Adventure Dives, each designed to introduce you to a new diving specialty. Two of these dives are required and fundamental, while the other three are yours to choose from according to your interests!

The 5 Dives of your Advanced Adventure:

Deep Dive (Required):
Learn the key considerations and techniques for diving safely to greater depths (usually up to 30 meters / 100 feet). You will understand the effects of pressure, air management, and deep dive planning.
Underwater Navigation (Required):
Master the art of navigating underwater using a compass and natural landmarks. You will develop essential skills for planning and executing underwater routes, making your explorations more efficient and self-sufficient.

Choose three adventure dives from the following (list may vary):

Night Dive:
Discover the magic of the underwater world after sunset. Learn to communicate and navigate with a dive light, and observe nocturnal marine life, often very different from that of daytime.
Wreck Diving:
Explore the mysteries and history of wrecks. You will learn exploration techniques, safety considerations, and the importance of preserving these fascinating sites.
Peak Performance Buoyancy:
Perfect your buoyancy control for a smoother dive, reduced air consumption, and better coral protection. It’s the key to graceful and respectful diving.
Fish Identification:
Improve your knowledge of marine life. Learn to recognize different fish species and their behavior, enriching every dive.
Drift Diving:
Discover the thrill of going with the flow. You’ll learn planning and communication techniques for drift dives.
Underwater Photography or Videography:
Capture the beauty of the underwater world. Learn the basics of composition, lighting, and settings to create memorable images and videos.

I came diving here in mid December 2024 and had 9 solid dives including a night dive.

Literally every dive was a new nudibranch for me. Tons and tons of creatures spotted. Too many frogfish, mantis shrimp, to count. Some large schools of jack fish, rays, turtles, tons of eels, snakes, octopi, even a bamboo shark. Quite a lot of soft coral. There�s some wreck structures (not ships but still very covered in coral).

The owner is a very experienced photographer and diver and is very easy going, along with Johnry, our dive master guide. Johnny was both experienced and energetic, able to spot creatures nonstop on these dives.

The shop seems to attract very experienced divers, and that was a boon for me since every dive we came up over 60� and safely.

The prices are reasonable and the whole facility is very nice to hang out whether or not you are staying in or out. The staff are welcoming and make you feel appreciated.

I would definitely dive with this shop again, and there�s a lot left for me to see here, no doubt. Thanks crew!

Great diving, friendly staff and very experienced instructors. The cost was very affordable too! Would recommend them for scuba diving for sure!
One suggestion - please do have some snacks on the boat between dives, we got hungry :)

We really enjoyed our stay with Amathi Diving Resort.Mary Joy & Thiery,the owner,made our stay special and memorable.Thiery is a very good diving instructor because we had fun with our discovery dive even it is our first time to dive. Mary Joy, as well as her staff namely King & Kong treat us as their family. We will surely go back to this place on our next vacation.

Where to start? My family and I had a wonderful time at Amathi dive resort. We are so grateful for the one week we got to spend this part of Anilao.
Even with typhoon + monsoon the first few days, and last minute notice, the owners and entire crew made sure to take great care of us and accommodated our various needs. My mother has tons of allergies and I am on mostly plant based diet and yet McJoy and Thierry, both celebrated owner-chefs, treated us to delicious and nutritious meals, with local and some homegrown ingredients every single day.
Of course one comes here for the world class diving that is Anilao. Thierry planned some spectacular diving expeditions everyday. Despite the weather and current season, various marine life are to be had. From frog fishes, stonefish, octopi to daily encounters with massive green sea turtles, every dive is an adventure. Night dive is also very highly recommended, I mean who doesn't get captivated by the sight of a flamboyant cuttlefish?
I already miss what feels like a second home and family here in the Philippines. Because that's how Amathi operates, they are one big happy family that welcomes you home with arms wide open.
It doesn't get more accommodating and personalized than this. Thank you for a memorable experience, McJoy, Thierry, Jerome, Jericho, Rachel, Lanie, and for keeping us company AJ.
Sa uulitin!
Love from NYC & Laguna tribe

Best resort in town, great location and great staff.
The food is out of this world and the rooms are big and comfortable, nothing better than a king size bed after a day of diving.
I couldn't recommend this resort more, Thierry and Joy always go above and beyond to make the trip unforgettable.
