DIVE DAUIN

Jeep Dives

Shoreline Adventures Made Easy

Not every great dive needs a long boat ride. With our Jeep Diving option, we load up the gear and head out along Dauin’s shoreline in classic Jeeps and pickups, stopping at the best sites right off the beach. It’s quick, convenient, and gets you into the water faster — perfect for divers who want maximum time underwater with minimum fuss.

From the vibrant reefs of Masaplod to the critter-rich sands of our very own House Reef, Jeep Diving showcases the incredible variety Dauin is famous for. Expect dazzling coral gardens, curious turtles, and the kind of macro life that makes photographers grin behind their masks. Every site is just a short ride away, yet each one feels like a whole new world beneath the waves.

Whether you’re chasing colorful reef fish, hunting for nudibranchs, or simply soaking up the magic of Dauin’s underwater landscapes, Jeep Diving is the perfect way to explore. Easy access, diverse sites, and unforgettable encounters — all without the need for a boat.

Apo Island is legendary among divers for good reason. Just off the coast of Dauin, it’s home to one of the Philippines’ oldest marine sanctuaries, a pioneering conservation success story that has protected its reefs for decades. While the sanctuary itself remains off-limits until 2031, the surrounding dive sites are bursting with life—walls draped in hard and soft corals, schools of jackfish swirling like silver clouds, and the ever-present chance of a close encounter with a green or hawksbill turtle. It’s no wonder Apo has earned the nickname “Turtle Island.”

A Living Classroom Beneath the Waves
Every dive here feels like stepping into a natural aquarium. The reefs showcase what healthy coral ecosystems should look like, making Apo Island both a thrill for seasoned divers and an eye-opener for newcomers. Whether you’re drifting along vibrant slopes or exploring shallow coral gardens, you’ll witness firsthand the power of community-led conservation. It’s not just a dive—it’s a chance to connect with a living legacy of marine protection.

Why Apo Belongs on Your Bucket List
Few places combine accessibility, biodiversity, and sheer beauty quite like Apo Island. It’s a short boat ride from Dauin, yet it feels like another world. With turtles cruising by, pristine reefs, and a sense of diving in history, Apo offers experiences that stay with you long after you surface. If you want to see what the future of coral reefs should look like, Apo Island is the dive you can’t miss.

Dive Into Turtle Territory

At The Dive Hub, diving isn’t just about watching the reef — it’s about helping to protect it. With our Conservation & Citizen Science dives, you’ll move beyond being a spectator and become an active participant in reef regeneration. From coral nursery care to reef data capture, every dive contributes to the bigger picture of ocean conservation.

This initiative supports Reef Buddy Philippines, building on the proven success of Reef Buddy’s Caribbean projects. Whether you’re logging fish counts, monitoring coral health, or assisting with regeneration efforts, you’ll be part of a global movement to restore and protect our reefs. It’s hands-on, meaningful, and deeply rewarding.

Join us this year in Dauin and discover how your dives can make a difference. Learn new skills, contribute to science, and leave the ocean better than you found it — all while enjoying the incredible marine life that makes Dauin world-famous.
