Diving is possible all year around. High-season in terms of visitors starts Christmas and lasts until end of May when PADI Courses, Fun Diving and accommodation need to be reserved in advance. Best visibility is May to November even though it's rainy season and winds and waves can effect the access to certain dive sites.

Rainy season starts in June with Southwest-Monsoon and first Taifuns affecting mostly North-East Philippines. Peak is November but Low Pressure Areas and Taifuns can affect boat and air-traffic even until mid January! It is the Philippine Coast Guards and our experienced crew who finally decide every morning if it's save to go out.

We know, you have specific weather questions regarding your Philippines trip. And there can be perfect conditions during rainy season. But no, we really can't predict the weather more than 4 days in advance. Or do you know if there will be snow next Christmas at home? Keep heads up with the official Philippines Weather Forecast here and find out more about diving conditions with our FAQs.

It rocks! The Bacuit Archipel presents around 20 dive sites for all experience levels: shallow beach entries with sea-gras fields for beginners as well as the amazing Dilumacad Tunnel (+50 logged dives required). Surrounded by 45 islands the eco-system here is full of life: with 447 species of corals, 888 species of fish and 5 species of marine turtles there is always something new to discover. We can't guarantee big stuff - but we surely look out for it. Turtles are always around and very relaxed fellows. Best chance to encounter Whaleshark and Manta Rays is December until May.
