Uncle Panda Diving & Lounge

Uncle Panda Diving & Lounge is a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort in Moalboal, Philippines, where two PADI Instructors guide divers through the surrounding waters. It's a spot that lives up to its playful spirit — after a day underwater, you can gather for hot pot, barbecue, or a party right on site.

Courses and services

The centre runs a full range of PADI programmes, including PADI Scuba Diving, Freediving, Mermaid, and Snorkelling. On the practical side, you'll find air fills, Nitrox, equipment sales, and rental gear for scuba, freediving, and kids. Conservation activities and a dive club round out the offering, and the team speaks English, French, Mandarin, Chinese, and Filipino.

Facilities are geared toward staying a while: an onsite classroom, onsite accommodation, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a retail shop, food and drinks, and parking. It's a good fit for divers who want to learn, explore, and hang around long after the fins come off.
