Fun Diving in Mactan – Dive Into Kontiki & Beyond

Whether you’re newly certified or a seasoned diver looking to explore Mactan’s vibrant reef systems, Dive Funatics offers you a unique way to experience fun diving — rooted in safety, quality, and our deep commitment to diver education.

Dive Kontiki: Our House Reef

Our base of operations sits right next to Kontiki Reef, a local favorite and training ground for generations of divers. This accessible shore-entry dive site boasts:

• Shallow coral gardens ideal for relaxed exploration

• Steep drop-offs perfect for advanced buoyancy practice

• Regular sightings of turtles, nudibranchs, pipefish, and more

• Night dive options for the more adventurous

Because Kontiki is just steps away from our facility, it’s available to our certified divers anytime we’re open, with minimal prep and zero boat logistics. It’s the perfect place for a spontaneous splash.

Boat Dives: Only for Private, Exclusive Groups

We want to be upfront: Dive Funatics is a dive education facility first. Our core focus is on delivering exceptional scuba training — from foundational PADI certifications to professional development and specialty training.

As such, we do not run regular boat diving trips for walk-in guests or group fun diving.

However, if you’re traveling as a group or looking for a private dive charter, we’re happy to arrange boat dives to nearby Mactan sites, such as:

• Hilutungan Island – A marine sanctuary bustling with fish life

• Nalusuan Island – Shallow reefs, soft corals, and macro critters

• Talima & Tambuli – Great for intermediate-level divers

• Shangri-La Marine Sanctuary – Dive luxury reefs right off the coast

💡 Minimum headcount or private charter required for boat arrangements.

There is a mandatory no fly time of at least 18 hours from the time you surface from your last dive before you can safely fly out so plan your flight bookings properly. On the other hand, there is no similar restriction on flying in and diving. Therefore, make sure to consider these when planning for your flight out following your training so you can avoid any inconvenience resulting from this.
