White Water Rafting

Philippines diving: completely underrated

First time diving in the Philippines at Cagayan De Oro after years in Thailand and Bali. Completely blown away. The diversity of life is incredible and pricing is very competitive compared to other top dive destinations globally. Already have my next trip booked.

Great, though rough seas one day

Three of four dive days at Cagayan De Oro were perfect. One day had choppier conditions and we had to skip the outer reef, but the dive master found an excellent alternative in a sheltered bay. Flexible and professional — exactly how you want your dive team to respond.

Exceptional service throughout

From airport pickup to final dive briefing to the farewell dinner at Cagayan De Oro, everything was exceptionally well handled. Surface intervals were put to good use — snorkeling, exploring the area, or just relaxing on deck. Perfect balance of adventure and comfort.

Coming back every year

Cagayan De Oro has become my annual dive destination. The dive shop is well-run, equipment is modern and well-maintained, and the sites never get old. Different seasons bring different marine encounters — this visit coincided with manta ray season which was simply spectacular.

Perfect for underwater photography

Brought my camera housing to Cagayan De Oro and the conditions were perfect — calm seas, crystal visibility, and abundant marine life at every depth. The dive master was patient when I stopped to photograph macro subjects. Got some of my best shots ever at these sites.
