Scuba Diving Philippines


By Carine Taleen at 2010-10-08 05:06:51
Scuba diving Philippines does not get any diverse, anywhere in the world! No matter what level of diver you are, diving Philippines has something to offer you. In fact I can just about guarantee that the scuba diving you do in the Philippines will blow your mind and make you think twice about diving when you get home. You will literally be spoilt when diving in the Philippines.

Some sixty miles to the South of Manila lie the islands of Verde and Mindoro and there is a special current known as the Verde Island Passage which brings vast amounts of both nutrients and oxygen and from the Pacific into a small area of some 100Kms long and only 20Kms wide at it's narrowest point. In this area it is estimated that some 60% of all known, shallow water fish species in the world can be found.

One of the rare things you can't miss while in Cebu is scuba diving along the Malapascua Island. Regarded as one of the best diving spots in the Philippines, the clean waters comes endowed with well preserved marine habitats and impressive biodiversity. It's a refreshing turn from the bustling city where the locales solely depend on the sea and tourism as a main source of income.

Cebu is one of the larger islands in the Philippines. Bohol is attached to Cebu by a bridge. Alona beach is on Bohol, and is the main jumping off point for Balicasag, which is where the best diving is located, roughly a 25 minute boat ride on the local catamarans from Alona Beach. Shore dives are also possible off of Alona Beach.

Apo Island is available by a one hour flight from Manila to Dumaguete City, the capital of Negros Oriental, or by a 40 minute flight from Cebu City in the Visayas. Apo Island is about 25 km south of Dumaguete. The departure point to Apo Island, which is only 7 km offshore, is Malatapay Beach. It takes about 30 minutes to get to Apo from Malatapay Beach by way of a charter boat.

In the dive safaris you can go cruising on outrigger boats from one island to another exploring new diving spots everyday. You can spend your nights in the beach resorts on the tropical islands of Philippines and this definitely is once in a lifetime opportunity. You must not miss the safari around the Cebu. You can also dive from the live boards and can take your pick from different diving styles like tech diving, wreck diving and shark diving.

Fins are of utmost importance when you are scuba diving. The best fin in the market is the Ocean Glider Open Heel Fins. This will be your safest bet underwater. The foot pockets that are extra wide will make donning and doffing easier. The foot pocket is made of very soft rubber and will give you extra comfort. If you need an extra push, the thing that you need is the flex scoop.

Caribbean islands are one of the most prominent dive spots in the world, with countless areas where one finds nature still preserved in its purest form. These islands not only offer great marine life, but the visibility under water ranges from twenty feet to up to one hundred and twenty feet, allowing divers to capture as many stunning scenes as they can. From Bahamas to Aruba, Caribbean islands have ideal scuba diving resorts with great facilities close by.
