Sea Pearl Divers

Tucked into the centre of San Juan on the Philippines' Siquijor island, Sea Pearl Divers is a small, modern shop with a simple promise: take you to the best dive sites the island has to offer while you're around. A PADI 5 Star Dive Center with four PADI instructors, it's a relaxed, well-run base for exploring Siquijor's underwater world.

Courses and what to expect

Newcomers can ease in with a Discover Scuba Diving session, while those ready to go further will find the Open Water Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver courses on offer. Beneath the surface, the waters host a wide cast of marine life — from sharks, turtles and whales to ocean fish, eels, molluscs, crustaceans, corals and anemones.

The waterfront shop keeps things easy with an onsite training pool, a dive boat, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a retail shop, food and drinks, and parking. With staff speaking English, Dutch, French, German and Filipino, Sea Pearl Divers suits curious first-timers and certified divers alike. Courses and dives start from USD 68.
