The Ultimate Philippines Family Dive Adventure
The Philippines: The Sea Explorers PADI 5-Star CDC Dive Centers are located on the islands of Negros (Pura Vida Beach and Dive Resort), Malapascua (Ocean Vida and Buena Vida Resorts), and Bohol (Amuni Ini Resort). Sea Explorers offers well-equipped facilities with a small retail shop at each location. Dive with a smile!
The Sea Explorers dive guides are some of the best principles in the world, let alone the Philippines. “I don’t know how those guides see or find all those critters underwater.” Brad Holland said after two weeks in the Philippines with the Sea Explorers.

Amun Ini in Bohol provides excellent opportunities for diving. Bohol Island is located in the center of what is known as the coral triangle. The coral triangle is the global center of marine biodiversity, which contains the countries of Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and the Philippines. This area includes 76% of the world’s coral species, 6 of the world’s seven marine turtle species, and over 2,000 reef fish species. Bohol Island is located in the northern corner of the coral triangle, which puts us in one of the highest marine biodiversity hotspots in the world and, in layman’s terms, a diver’s paradise.
Diving Bohol: Amun Ini is far from some of the more crowded tourist destinations on the east end of Bohol Island. They are known for their quiet, white-sand beaches, vast and abundant excellent dive sites, all located less than 10 minutes from the dive shop, and their conservation awareness. Amun Ini offers an extensive array of events you can partake in. They will take you on a Discover Scuba Dive course if you have never tried diving. This one-day course introduces you to the basics of scuba diving in a safe and enjoyable environment. One of their very experienced dive instructors will accompany you as they show you how to take your first breath underwater! See for yourself.
