Dive Buddies Philippines

Based in the heart of Makati, Dive Buddies Philippines is a PADI Five-Star dive center built around safety, education and the thrill of exploring the deep. With PADI-certified instruction, it's a welcoming base for first-timers and experienced divers alike, with English and Filipino both spoken on site.

Courses and dive sites

The center runs a full range of PADI courses, from Discover Scuba for newcomers right through to Dive Master, alongside specialised photography and videography training to help you capture the underwater world. From here, divers can reach some of the country's most varied sites — the colourful reefs of Anilao and the historic wrecks of Subic Bay among them.

On-site facilities include a retail shop and parking, with air fills, equipment sales and rental gear so you can travel light. PADI First Aid (EFR) training rounds out the offering. Dive Buddies also champions marine conservation, encouraging eco-friendly practices that help protect the reefs you've come to explore — making it a solid fit for anyone keen to learn, log dives and dive with purpose.
