Response, Divemaster to Instructor. We also offer many PADI specialties such as PADI Deep Diving, Night Diving, Enriched Air Nitrox or Digital Underwater Photography.

All aboard

We’ll sail to Apo Island aboard one of our three bancas, a comfortable traditional Philippines style outrigger pump-boat, followed by the diving and snorkeling sessions with a barbecue lunch break. This trip will thrill beginners as well as more advanced divers or snorkelers as the dive sites are diverse and most of them easily accessible, usually with good visibility and little or no current. Don’t forget to bring your camera!

A colourful world awaits

Our guests have the opportunity to take a snorkeling or diving trip to the famous Apo Island. Located about 45 minutes from Dauin, Apo Island shelters a great variety of marine wildlife. The marine habitat around the island has been a marine reserve since 1982, and one of the first in the Philippines. We also regularly have trips to Sumilon Island, another great underwater experience with a wide coral diversity and a high chance to spot the popular, casual, black tip reef sharks!

Meet the locals

The dive sites in Dumaguete offer all things big and small. Hard and soft corals, nudibranchs, mantis shrimps, countless reef fish, such as clown fish and parrot fish, banded sea snakes, relaxed sea turtles and many more await our guests to greet them.

The Fish Unlimited philosophy

Whether you are a resort guest, a diver, or just dropping in for a meal, we want to create a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of the city, so you can fully relax and enjoy.

With our combination of top quality PADI dive education and our daily philosophy of “Be Happy Together”, Fish Unlimited hopes to bring everyone an unforgettable happy holiday.

All our professional dive crew love the ocean and are marine conservationists at heart. We hope to share the magnificent beauty of our underwater world in a responsible fashion, to ensure that future generations will be able to enjoy it as we do.
