What to Expect

1. Convenient and Comfortable Boat Dives

Your adventure begins with a short boat ride to Dauin’s top dive sites, giving you easy access to the area’s most stunning underwater locations. Boat diving eliminates the need for long swims, allowing you to save energy and focus on the dive itself. The professional crew handles all the logistics, including equipment setup and dive briefings, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience.

2. Nitrox: Dive Longer, Feel Stronger

Diving with Nitrox is a game-changer for underwater explorers. With a higher oxygen content than regular air, Nitrox allows for extended dive times, particularly at shallower depths. This means you’ll have more time to soak in the vibrant coral reefs, observe fascinating marine life, and capture stunning underwater photos. Plus, Nitrox reduces post-dive fatigue, leaving you ready for even more adventures.

3. Unmatched Marine Life Encounters

Dauin’s waters are brimming with life. During your three dives, you’ll have the chance to encounter a variety of marine creatures, from sea turtles and schooling fish to macro critters like seahorses, frogfish, and nudibranchs. The diversity of life here is a photographer’s dream, making every dive a unique experience.

4. Dive Sites for Every Interest

With three dives included in this package, you’ll explore a mix of Dauin’s best sites. Dive through colorful coral gardens, navigate sandy muck diving zones, and discover hidden critters among the reefs. Whether you’re captivated by large marine life or tiny, intricate critters, Dauin has something special for you.

5. Expert Dive Guides and Sustainability

Aqua Ventura’s skilled dive guides are passionate about Dauin’s underwater world. They’ll lead you to the best spots, point out hidden treasures, and ensure your safety throughout the dives. Committed to sustainability, Aqua Ventura practices eco-friendly diving and encourages divers to respect marine life and preserve the environment for future generations.

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.
