Nature has blessed the Philippines with natural assets that made it Asia’s foremost diving destination with 7,107 tropical islands and islets set in deep blue waters that contain some of the richest marine-life systems on earth. It is the second largest archipelago in the world with rugged coastline extending to about 35,000km of numerous natural harbours and white sandy beaches plus about 34,000km of coral reefs.  

Philippines is one of the cheapest place in the world to learn diving – training is available by instructors from most of the world’s leading training agencies but PADI is  the most common.  

Standard of diving operations varies greatly and except for live-aboard boats, most Philippine diving is from a motorized outrigger boats called bancas, the modern equivalent of a dug-out canoe with twin outrigger poles.  

Diving is possible all year round in almost all of the places around the country though there are areas where reservations has to be done far in advance during  high season .  
   
Because the Philippines have a vast coastline, it is not practical to include all the country’s possible dive sites in this information – we therefore concentrate on the areas where we can pre-arrarange it for you and/or the areas included in C&C’s  regular travel program.
