Dive Overview

Diving the Philippines means access to a wide assortment of marine environments, such as coastal reefs and steep walls and pinnacles. The S/Y Philippine Siren places divers amongst beautiful corals and a plethora of wildlife. Whale sharks frequent many of the dive sites.

Some of the highlights for the Visayas & Malapascua itineraries are hard and soft coral formations, muck diving, whale sharks in Oslob, thresher sharks in Malapascua and the famous sardine run in Moalboal. While the vibrant hard corals growing on pinnacles and steep walls, and frequent sightings of reef sharks, rays and whale sharks are present for the Tubbataha itineraries.
