MBI Dive Center

Perched on Malapascua Island in Cebu, the Philippines, MBI Dive Center is a professional PADI 5 Star dive centre offering world-class diving and PADI training. With three PADI instructors, a strong focus on safety and a deliberately small-group approach, it welcomes complete beginners and career divers alike.

Courses for every level

Programmes run from first-timer Discover Scuba Diving and the PADI Open Water Diver Course (from USD 390) through the Advanced Open Water Diver (from USD 356), Rescue Diver (from USD 414) and Emergency First Response (from USD 229), all the way to professional PADI Divemaster training (from USD 1499). Courses are taught in English and Filipino.

The centre specialises in dives to Monad Shoal and Kimud Shoal, two of the Philippines' most famous sites. Monad Shoal is renowned for early-morning thresher shark encounters, while Kimud Shoal brings chances of tiger sharks and eagle rays. Divers also explore vibrant coral reefs and macro critters, with turtles, whales and countless ocean fish among the marine life.
