Dive Safari Philippines:
From Cebu to Cabilao & Bohol and back

Dive Safaris in the Philippines: If you like cruising on an outrigger boat from island to island, diving the best dive spots the Visayan archipelago has to offer while staying every night in a comfortable beach resort, a dive safari is for you. 

 On a dive safari we tour from islands to island, diving the finest dive sites in the region and check-in in a near-by beach resort late afternoon on every safari day. Staying in a beach resort gives you more privacy and breathing space than live-aboards plus you see more from the country and its people while still having access to spectacular marine life.

A dive safari is the way to go if you want to see as much good dive sites as possible in a short time

The safari boats are custom-build outrigger boats specially designed for dive safaris and under German/Swiss management. Dive safaris can be booked for individual or group trips to any dive destination in the Visayas with a minimum of 6 divers at any time all year round.
