Pili Beach Divers

Set on the white-sand shore of Pili Beach Resort in Agmanic, Boracay, this PADI Resort dive centre puts the water right at your feet. Coral reefs run along a 6km stretch out front, so you can dive straight from the beach — or take the boat out to 12 other dive sites nearby.

Diving and courses

The centre runs PADI Scuba Diving, PADI Freediving and PADI Snorkelling, guided by a PADI Instructor. English is spoken. There's an onsite training pool and classroom for lessons, plus air fills, equipment sales, and scuba, freediving and kids' rental gear.

Underwater, Boracay's waters bring sharks, whales, turtles, ocean fish, eels, molluscs and crustaceans, corals, anemones and jellyfish. On land you'll find a house reef, dive boat, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a retail shop, onsite accommodation, food and drinks, and parking — a straightforward setup that suits divers who want a waterfront base with everything on hand.
