About this center
Budget-friendly PADI center on Malapascua with thresher shark dives, island-hopping trips, and freediving courses.
Island Dive Center offers Malapascua's full diving experience at accessible prices. Morning thresher shark dives at Monad Shoal, afternoon reef dives, and evening mandarin fish dives create a full day of underwater exploration.
The center also runs island-hopping snorkel and dive trips to Kalanggaman and surrounding atolls. PADI courses from Discover Scuba through Advanced Open Water, plus freediving introductions for those wanting to explore the reefs breath-hold style.
Small group sizes, personal attention, and Filipino hospitality define the experience. Night dives at the lighthouse reef reveal octopus, cuttlefish, and other nocturnal hunters. Photography assistance and basic camera rental available.
