Enjoy the magic of the Philippines by combining two dedicated dive resorts located in the Visayas region, famous for superb coral reefs, turtle encounters and an amazing world of macro life.
The magic of a dive holiday to the Philippines is the opportunity to combine two locations and enjoy the experience each one offers. This twin centre itinerary includes spending time at Moalboal, renowned for its colourful wall diving, turtles and resident sardine baitball and Anda on the east coast of Bohol, a less explored location with an abundance of marine life including two types of pygmy seahorse, bobbit squid, pipefish and nudibranch.
We recommend a minimum of six nights at each location, but you can stay as long as you like!
