A Dauin dive centre that does this for a living

Small groups, never more than four divers to a guide, with instructors who've spent years on these reefs. Certified or starting out, you go at your own pace.

Four to a guide

Every group's capped at four divers, so you're properly looked after and nobody's left waiting on the surface.

Amazing reef and critter diving with our award winning crew

A full-time team

Our guides and instructors are salaried and here year-round. No rotating cast of seasonal freelancers.

The top tier PADI awards a dive centre for training and service standards. We hold it.

PADI 5-Star

Years on the reef

Our founder has around twenty years teaching, and our lead spotter has ten on the Dauin reefs alone.

Already certified?

You want to get in the water, not sit through a pitch. Tell us your level and what you like seeing or shooting, and we'll match the sites and the guide to it. Coastal muck by jeep, Apo Island by catamaran.

New, or back after a break?

First-timers and rusty returners get the same thing from us: time. We don't rush the pool, and we don't mind if your last dive was ten years ago. Start with a try-dive or take the full course.

Who you'll be diving with

Every dive here is led by a full-time instructor or divemaster who's been at it for years, not a stand-in building hours on you. Decades on these reefs between them, and it shows: they'll read your air and comfort before you flag it, and find the critter you'd have finned straight past. By the second day they know how you dive.

What you'll be diving

Dauin is muck and macro country. The black volcanic sand just off the shore is where the odd stuff lives: the frogfish, ghost pipefish, blue-ringed octopus and the occasional wonderpus that divers fly a long way to photograph. Those sites are minutes from the shop by jeep. For a bigger day out, Apo Island is a marine sanctuary an hour away by catamaran, with turtles and walls of reef in good health.

How we dive

We dive in a way the reef can take. That means a respectful distance from the animals and fins kept well off the coral. We don't chase a shot at the reef's expense. None of this is a campaign and we won't dress it up as one. It's how diving should be done, and we work with Reef Buddy Philippines to keep ourselves honest about it.

The Dive Hub transformed my diving, teaching me so much more about the marine world and what we can do to help it recover. I'll take this everywhere I go.
