Some of us must live underwater - this is the motto and the spirit of our dive centre.
The people working here are addicted to scuba diving and this why we are where we are, at one of the best dive spots the Philippines have to offer. We are in the lucky position to make a living of our passion and we enjoy it every moment.
You, as a visiting diver, might feel the difference in the atmosphere of the dive centre, while you engage in light banter with our staff or when you join us for a “deco beer” and some story telling after a day of fantastic diving. All of us would be happy to have you here, joining and being part of our live style.
See you under water!
