Pirate Divers Busuanga

Set in the little town of Concepcion, 40km outside of Coron, Pirate Divers Busuanga trades the crowds for a white sand beach island setting where the wrecks sit just 10–40 minutes away by boat — a world apart from the 2hr trip out of Coron itself. With a waterfront location, onsite classroom and at least 4 fully trained dive staff, the shop keeps things friendly, safe and refreshingly personal: your group always dives on its own.

Courses and diving

A PADI 5 Star Dive Resort with 3 PADI Instructors, Pirate Divers runs the full ladder from PADI Discover Scuba Diving (from USD 119) through Open Water, Advanced and Rescue Diver, plus specialities including Wreck, Enriched Air (Nitrox), Underwater Navigator and Night Diver. Every dive is tailored to you.

The waters here are famous for their wrecks — Irako, Akitsushima, Okikawa Maru, Kogyo Maru and more — alongside reef sites like Sand Pit Reef, with sharks, turtles and rays among the marine life. Staff speak English, German, Filipino and Polish, making it a natural fit for divers of every level chasing warm-water wreck diving with a family atmosphere.
