Experience SCUBA in Davao

The southern part of the Philippines is home to many beautiful natural gems that await to be untold to the whole world. One of its gems is the underwater scenes at Talicud Island, Island Garden City of Samal, Davao del Norte. It is just 45 minutes away from Davao City by boat. To explore the underwater of the Davao Gulf,there are many dive centers to choose located at Sta. Ana Wharf of Davao City. One of those centers is the Carabao Dive Center.

As 2015 is the Visit the Philippines year, this experience underwater in Davao Region is surely a must try when in the Philippines.



The experience may be frightening to many since normal breathing is not practiced and many are not capable of swimming into deep seas. However, to experience SCUBA is from its acronym itself - SELF-CONTAINED UNDERWATER BREATHING APPARATUS. The fear of not able to breathe well is present yet worry not because breathing is still present. Being soaked underwater with this apparatus will not deprive the adventurer seeing the beauty down deep. Worrying doesn't help at all, just enjoy the experience and don't panic. Every intro diver has a dive master to guide underwater. :-)


The SCUBA experience in Davao can be one in the morning and another one in the afternoon which will cost 1200 pesos for the two dives. A single dive may cost you 850 pesos and a second dive is an additional of 350 pesos. However, it really depends on the dive center that you avail for the services.

As many love to take photos, underwater photos and videos are cool remembrances. You are really one lucky person if it is included in the package of your intro dive, which I experienced. Aside from the photos, it is enjoying to meet new friends who try the SCUBA and the dive masters themselves, too. :-)

Here is a tip: the first dive may be great but the second dive is greater. Why? It is because the second dive will allow you to experience deeper. If the first dive is around 30 feet deep, the second dive is way 40 ft deep or deeper. You will also enjoy and compare the corals on the seabed and corals at a massive seawall. Aside from that, there is a chance of diving alone with the dive master at your front instead of at your back. Isn't it cool? :-)

Here is a video that Van of Carabao Dive Center took when I was diving. :-)


Enjoy watching!

  2. The scuba diving industry has experienced huge growth over the last decade or so, and doesn't look like it's going to slow down anytime soon, which suggests that there has never been a greater time to be a diving instructor. scuba diving cayo diablo

    1. I would agree to you. It is also calling for advocacies in saving our oceans. The underwater world is very beautiful and needs to be protected. :-)
