Diving in Malapascua and Dauin, Philippines

Dauin – a diving paradise

Dauin in the central Philippines has become one of the Philippines' most popular destinations for divers in recent years. There is fantastic muck diving here. Large areas of sand and here and there oases with coral and reefs. In addition, fantastic reefs and small coral gardens with lots of marine life, fish and enormous species diversity. There are fish of different sizes, colors and shapes, even reef sharks, turtles, tuna, barracuda and other species are sometimes seen but also stingrays and eagle rays. Even manta rays and whale sharks sometimes pass by but with a lot of luck.

Invertebrates such as squid, nudibranchs, crustaceans and echinoderms dominate together with sponges, sea squirts and various corals or cnidarians. The species richness is fantastic and all dive sites are relatively close so it is rarely a long trip. The diving is varied and different animals thrive more or less well in different places so one day is rarely the same as the next. The marine life is really exciting and you will be able to experience a variety of strange animals that you may not have thought or even knew existed.

Dauin is a true diving paradise and you can actually go here all year round, with March and April being especially good as there are often a lot of frogfish and the weather is normally the best.
For those of you who wish to extend your trip either at the beginning or afterwards, it is entirely possible and we will help you find good solutions for this.
