| Who we are
Sea Explorers Philippines is one of the most experienced dive operators
in the heart of the Philippines. With 6 dive branches all over the
Visayas, namely Alona Beach, Cabilao, Dauin, Malapascua, Moalboal
and Siquijor, Sea Explorers offers great diving opportunities through
a unique island hopping adventure. In addition, competent and multilingual
customer assistance is provided through our Head Office in Cebu
City.
The readers of the German magazine “Tauchen” awarded
Sea Explorers Philippines as the ”Best Dive Centre in Southeast
Asia/Pacific” for two consecutive years. In 2004, Sea Explorers
Dauin, located in Pura Vida Beach and Dive Resort, was upgraded
to a Career Development Center (CDC), the highest ranking of a
PADI Dive Center.

| What you can expect
Filipinos are known to be very friendly, kind
and happy people, which is why our Dive Teams work and dive with
a smile at all times. Besides great diving, you have a chance
to take a closer look at the Philippine culture and scenery by
taking short excursions ranging from interesting local markets, to refreshing
waterfalls, amazing river tours and breathtaking landscapes.
In the local restaurants you can taste delicious Filipino specialities
and enjoy fresh tropical fruit juices.
|
| Island Hopping
Sea Explorers offers you a unique island hopping
experience where you can easily “jump” from one Sea
Explorers Branch to another. Whenever possible we do these so
called transfers by our Bankaboats where you can even do some
dives on the way (min. of 2 divers, depending on weather conditions
and destinations). We will arrange all the transfers for you,
so you can have a hassle-free holiday.
|
| The Diving |
Sea Explorers
puts a high priority on divers’ safety and customer satisfaction
at the same
time. Dive groups are limited to a maximum of 4 divers per dive
guide which ensures safety and fun for everybody. Our well trained
and experienced local dive guides are proud to share the great wonders
of the sea with you.
Diving all over the Visayas means that you can expect a large variety
of underwater features. Besides colourful coral gardens and big
schools of fish, we can take you to
amazing special dive sites where you can choose from muck-, pier-,
drift-, wall-,
shark-, cave-, and wreck-diving. Our dive boats, also known as “Bankaboats”,
offer
convenient boat rides to bring you to your dive destinations. Once
again, as safety is our priority, our boats are equipped with first
aid kits, portable oxygen units, emergency mobile phones and life
vests. There is even a full set of spare dive equipment on board
just in case. |

|
| Dive Safaris |
 |
If you are a group of 8 people or more, we can even offer you
our well known Dive Safaris where you will be provided with one
of our big Bankaboats for the entire safari. Instead of staying
overnight on the boat, you are going to spend the night at the
local resorts where you can have a good time and enjoy the beach
life with your group.
Regular Dive Safaris usually last for about 2 weeks starting from
Moalboal, going to Dauin, Siquijor, Alona Beach, and finally Cabilao
or vice versa.
|
| The Education |
|
Taking courses with Sea Explorers means flexible learning, efficient
teaching environments such as convenient classrooms with multimedia,
safe diving practices according to PADI standards, and most of all,
a lot of fun!
All Sea Explorers Branches offer a wide range of PADI courses
from Open Water Diver up to Divemaster level in English, German,
Tagalog and Cebuano (the local dialect), and at some branches
even in French, Dutch and Japanese.
Several times a year, Sea Explorers Dauin conducts PADI
Instructor Development Courses (IDC) at our CDC.
