Apo Diver Siquijor

Tucked into the tropical island of Siquijor in the Philippines, Apo Diver Siquijor is a German-owned PADI Five Star Dive Resort built around exploring the region's clear waters, coral gardens and walls. With three PADI instructors and five languages spoken — English, Spanish, French, German and Filipino — the centre welcomes divers from around the world, whether you're trying scuba for the first time or working toward a professional rating.

Courses and dive sites

The line-up spans nine courses and activities, from Discover Scuba Diving and PADI Open Water through to Advanced Open Water, Rescue Diver and Divemaster, plus Emergency First Response training. A Fun Dive Package starts from USD 33. With a house reef and guided trips to nearby sites — including Apo Island — divers can encounter turtles, schools of jacks and barracudas, nudibranchs, frogfish and a kaleidoscope of reef fish.

Facilities include an onsite training pool, classroom, retail shop, air-conditioned spaces, free Wi-Fi, dive boat, rental equipment and a swimming pool — a relaxed waterfront base suited to beginners and experienced divers alike.
