Dive Sibaltan

Set in the tranquil coastal village of Sibaltan in El Nido, Philippines, Dive Sibaltan holds a special place in the local scene as the area's pioneer dive center. Founded in 2017, it was the first to open its doors here, and ever since it has introduced countless divers to the region's unspoiled underwater world with a personal, eco-conscious touch.

Courses and what to expect

As a PADI Dive Center with one PADI Instructor on hand, Dive Sibaltan keeps things friendly and small-scale. The PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience, from USD 92 and lasting roughly five hours, is the natural starting point for first-timers curious to try breathing underwater for the first time.

The waterfront base comes well equipped, with an onsite classroom, a dive boat, onsite accommodation, free Wi-Fi and parking, plus full equipment rental and air fills. With staff speaking English, Turkish and Tagalog, it's a welcoming choice for newcomers and travellers looking to discover Sibaltan's quiet, unhurried diving.
