The Philippines is more than just a destination—it’s a portal to a different world, a place where the ocean reveals its secrets to those who dare to dive deep. But these secrets aren’t just handed over. You’ve got to earn them. And the best way to start? By visiting the right places.
Imagine the thrill of diving with thresher sharks at Malapascua, where every encounter feels like a privilege. Or the humbling experience of exploring the sunken WWII wrecks at Coron Bay, where history meets the sea in the most dramatic way. Then there’s the vibrant coral walls of Tubbataha Reefs, a UNESCO World Heritage site that’s as pristine as it gets.
In Apo Reef, you’ll find the largest atoll-like reef in the Philippines, teeming with life and crystal-clear waters. Anilao in Batangas is a macro photographer’s dream, with its intricate marine life hiding in plain sight. And at Moalboal, Cebu, the sardine run is an underwater spectacle you have to see to believe.
Puerto Galera offers a variety of dive sites, from colorful coral gardens to deep walls, catering to every level of diver. On Balicasag Island, you’ll be surrounded by schools of fish and an ecosystem that feels untouched. The Verde Island Passage, known as the “Center of the Center of Marine Biodiversity,” is a reminder of the ocean’s vastness and its fragility. Finally, Panglao Island in Bohol is where you’ll find peace in its rich reefs and calm waters, a perfect dive to end the day.
These aren’t just places to dive; they’re places to connect—with the ocean, with yourself, with something bigger. At Dive Funatics, we know these sites because we’ve lived them. We’re here to make sure you do too, with the respect and responsibility that the ocean deserves.
Because diving isn’t just about seeing the underwater world—it’s about becoming part of it.
