Is it hard to learn to scuba dive?

As active recreational pastimes go, scuba diving is one of the easiest to learn. While you’re gliding around enjoying the underwater sights, you’re engaged in only three basic skills: floating, kicking and breathing. Of course, there’s more to it than that — becoming proficient at using the equipment and developing knowledge of scuba concepts and safety procedures — but if you can breathe through your mouth, chances are you can learn to scuba dive

How long does a dive last? 

This depends on each person. People breathe at different rates. Beginners will in general use more air. For the discovery the dives last around 40 minutes and for our fun divers we have a planned dive time of 50 minutes. But we are flexible. If you are good on air your divemaster will be happy to stay down a bit longer with you.

What is the temperature of the water like? 

From December to February the water temp. can go down to around 24 degrees and during summer months the water will go up to about 30 degrees. We offer long and short wetsuits.

How to get to boracay?

From Manila, travel to Boracay via either Kalibo Airport or Caticlan Airport. Caticlan is 30 minutes from Boracay so it’s the most convenient option. A flight to Kalibo is significantly cheaper than a direct flight to Caticlan. However, you will need to travel for 2 hours from Kalibo Airport to Caticlan Jetty Port.

Going to Boracay Island from Caticlan Jetty Port

After the registration, you will take a short ferry ride to Cagban Jetty Port in

Boracay Island. From here, you can take a tricycle or a private or shared van to your chosen accommodation.

We can also help arrange your transfers if desired.

When is the best time to visit Boracay?

Boracay can be enjoyed practically any time of yearbecause even during the rainy seasons there are usually shorter, very strong showers, but afterwards the sun shows up again and again. 

November to April is considered dry season. 

July to November marks Boracay’s off-peak season.
