Your boat diving adventure begins at our dive shop, where our team will welcome you with a detailed briefing on the day’s dive sites, safety procedures, and the marine species you’re likely to encounter. Once we’ve geared up and completed the pre-dive checks, we’ll board our comfortable dive boat, specially designed to provide a smooth and relaxing journey to each dive location. As we cruise along Dauin’s coastline, you’ll enjoy scenic views of the tropical landscape, setting the stage for an exciting day underwater.
The boat dives in Dauin are tailored to showcase the region’s rich marine life, including both macro and larger marine species. Dauin is famous for its muck diving and macro life, and our guides know the best spots to find fascinating critters like frogfish, seahorses, and nudibranchs that thrive in the area’s sandy and volcanic habitats. Each dive reveals a new facet of Dauin’s underwater world, with surprises around every corner. For underwater photographers, these boat dives offer prime opportunities to capture rare and colorful marine species up close.
One of the most popular boat dive sites in Dauin is Apo Island, a world-famous marine sanctuary located just a short boat ride from the coast. Known for its pristine coral gardens and vibrant fish population, Apo Island offers an immersive dive experience with spectacular biodiversity. Schools of colorful fish like anthias, butterflyfish, and parrotfish create a vibrant backdrop as you navigate the coral formations. You may even encounter larger marine life such as turtles and reef sharks, making each dive at Apo Island truly memorable.
Car Wreck is another unique dive site accessible by boat, where a submerged vehicle has become an artificial reef, attracting a variety of marine life. Covered in soft corals and sponges, this site is home to groupers, scorpionfish, and even occasional visits from larger pelagic fish. The Car Wreck site is a favorite among divers seeking an unusual and photogenic underwater scene. Our dive guides will point out interesting features and marine life, ensuring you get the most out of each dive.
Dauin’s volcanic activity has also shaped some of its dive sites, and one notable location is Mainit Sanctuary, where natural hot springs bubble up from the seafloor. This creates warm patches of water and an intriguing underwater landscape. Divers love Mainit Sanctuary for its mix of sandy beds and coral-covered rock formations, which attract a wide array of critters and fish. The sanctuary is an excellent spot to observe reef fish as well as the occasional cuttlefish or octopus hiding in the sandy areas.
Our boat dives are designed to be both flexible and accommodating, with dive sites selected based on your experience level and interests. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced diver, our guides will tailor each dive to suit your preferences, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.
