There are many islands around the world suitable for diving, but most have been overly developed by tourism. The Philippines, however, still boasts many paradise-like diving spots surrounded by rare coral reefs and home to a vast marine ecosystem, attracting divers from all over the world who come to marvel at nature’s wonders and develop a deeper appreciation for this beautiful land.

The Philippines has numerous islands with minimal climate variation, making it suitable for diving all year round. Famous hidden islands include Bohol’s Chocolate Hills, Panglao Island, Balicasag Island, Pamalican Island, and Virgin Island, all of which feature world-renowned dive sites. The nearby private resort Eskaya Beach Resort & Spa offers a top-tier spa experience and arranges adventures to various natural attractions and immersive travel experiences.

This area sees relatively few tourists, with the nearest airport being Tagbilaran Airport in Bohol’s capital. A short 20-minute helicopter ride takes you to Cebu, where guests can depart directly from the resort to go whale and dolphin watching, followed by an enriching diving journey to encounter amazing marine life such as whale sharks, giant sea fans, tunicates, sponges, and sea anemones. The next day, enjoy one of Panglao Island’s most famous hidden experiences: swimming in the underground Hinagdanan Cave, then taking a Loboc River cruise where you might spot the world’s smallest primate – the tarsier – for a complete tour of the island’s highlights.
