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. Peak is November but Low Pressure and Taifuns can affect boat and air-traffic even mid January! It is the Philippine Coast Guards who decide every morning if it's save for passenger boats to go out. And no, we really can't predict the weather more than 4 days in advance. Find out more about diving conditions in our FAQs.

The Bacuit Archipel has around 20 dive sites for all experience levels: shallow beach entries and 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 always look out. Best chance to encounter Whaleshark and Manta Rays is December until May. Find out more in our FAQs.
