Top things to do in the Philippines
Discover all the adventures you can experience in the Philippines
Discover the variety of marine life in the waters of Boracay, one of the best islands in the world, in this introductory dive activity. If you are curious about scuba diving but don't have the time to do the full certification course, this tour package is for you.
You will be picked up at your hotel in Stations 1, 2, or 3 or you can meet your guide at DMall McDonald’s. From there, you will be brought to the diving headquarters, where you will be asked to fill out an information sheet regarding your health, which is an essential part of the intro dive. If you don’t have pre-existing conditions and will not take a flight within the next 12 hours, you are likely cleared to do the activity.
A certified PADI instructor will then meet up with you for the classroom session. They will brief you on basic scuba diving principles, safety guidelines, and other things you need to know to enjoy the intro dive. You will also be shown the equipment you will use, including the wetsuit, buoyancy control device (BCD), and fins. You will then choose the size that best fits your frame.
Once equipped, you will go with your instructor in shallow waters to practice what you have learned. You will be taught, for example, how to use the regulator and what to do to clear your mask underwater. You will learn other key skills as well that you will use during the dive, including how to equalize. When you are ready, your instructor will take you to deeper waters where you can experience firsthand how to move around underwater.
Enjoy being surrounded by schools of fish and marvel at the colorful coral gardens underneath the surface. Your dive instructor will be with you throughout the activity, guiding you and taking your photo every now and then. After about an hour of enjoying the underwater scenery, you will head back to the shore.
