Types Of Diving
We categorise dives as follows:
- Tech. Covering any decompression dives that are not trimix.
- Trimix
Local dives are primarily open ocean drift along the reef. We also lead expeditions to other areas of the Philippines such as Subic, The Mactan Ferry, and the Mapperton Caves. In addition we have yearly expeditions to Truk Lagoon, for some of the best wreck diving in the world. If we’ve missed anything let us know and we’ll see if we can’t put it together for you.
Local Conditions
Local diving conditions are as follows:
- Decompression is often in blue water, but on some dive sites there is the opportunity to decompress coming up a reef.
- Viz varies but is generally a minimum of 15m and can be much more
- Diving with currents is the norm. These can be strong, with drifts of 2km on a 30 minute decompression. This is rare though and depends on the time of the year. Dives are planned to minimise the effects of current.
- Sites are usually no more than 15 minutes boat ride away
- In addition to the ‘plus 40m diving’ we also recommend extended stays at some of our fantastic recreational sites in the 35m to 40m range
- Depth of the tech sites ranges from 35m to 100m on local reefs, with superb topography and excellent coral and marine life. There are some small wrecks locally, for larger wrecks a trip to Maestro De Campo or Subic Bay is in order.
