Its reefs teem with marine life, from the tiny xenocrab to turtles, whip corals, eagle rays and white tip sharks. Come and explore the various dive spots!

Danica CoronelScuba de Oro the best!! Very welcoming to a solo diver like me and had amazing dives at Mantigue island 🤩 boat was very big, spacious and v comfortable, dining area was def a plus! Awesome crew and team that makes you feel like family thanks Amir, Francesca and team will for sure be back to dive the other Camiguin sites!
L Mi had a wonderful dive experience in Camiguin thanks to Amir & the whole Scuba de Oro team! as a solo female traveller at that time, i felt very at ease with the clear communication, professionalism and extra effort of the team to ensure an enjoyable, safe and meaningful dive trip. the dive sites were breathtaking with record number of turtles (the biggest green turtle i've ever seen!), beautiful overhangs and diverse sea life at every turn. my dive became all the more meaningful hearing and seeing for myself Amir & his team's efforts at marine conservation - from the dive buoy they set up at Mantigue island to helping manage the crown of thorns population in the area. i strongly advocate for local economy support, so it was so heartening to hear how Scuba de Oro - one of only 2 local dive shops in the island - puts the highest premium on quality diving service and confidently sets standards without compromising safety. in between dives and over delicious fried fly fish for lunch (lami!), i enjoyed learning more about Camiguin & northern Mindanao area shared by Amir with inspiring passion & pride. this was my first dive in beautiful Mindanao - and definitely won't be my last! maraming salamat Amir & Scuba de Oro!
Matteo CentonzeAwesome group of people doing their job with passion in a corner of paradise.
marlene pinziWe couldn’t have asked for a better or more personal experience! My mum, who doesn’t speak English, was wonderfully assisted by Francesca who, with her little Italian (actually, more than just a little!), was able to guide my mum through one of her first diving experiences. As for me, I had some of the best dives of my life. Camiguin is truly one of the most incredible and surprisingly little-known diving spots I’ve ever visited. That’s part of what makes it so special. The night dive organized by the crew was a magical experience. It felt like being on a boat with a group of friends, and what I saw underwater looked like something out of a fairy tale. A heartfelt thank you to every single member of the crew for the unforgettable dives, the laughter, your care and attention, and the delicious food and fresh fish on board! A special thanks to Amir who. with his experience and kind personality, made this journey even better
April Rose Cadorna AguaStill in awe of our unforgettable first scuba diving experience at the breathtaking Mantigue Island! 🌊🐠 From the time I contacted Amir and the moment we arrived, Scuba de Oro made everything so seamless and comfortable — from the warm welcome to the detailed briefing and top notch equipment. Their team went above and beyond to make sure we felt safe, confident, and excited every step of the way. A massive thank you to the most attentive boat crews, Captain Allan and Cole who made sure that we are fed with tasty meal and of course, our incredible dive buddies Jan and Arion who made the experience even more fun and memorable, even tho we didn’t bring underwater camera with us, you guys captured every moment for us. 😅 Personal rating would be 10/5. Will definitely contact this team for our future dives in Camiguin. 🤿💙
Matthew Edward ChuaHad an absolute blast with the crew! Francesca and the others took us around Camiguin and showed us some of the most beautiful dive sites and some of the largest Nudibranch I've ever seen. Not to mention that the food made by the captain was absolutely amazing! 100/10 would recommend and come again!
PaulineOn n’aurait pas pu rêver mieux pour notre baptême de plonée ! Amir et son équipe sont géniaux. Amir vous partagera son amour de la plongée avec passion et tant de pédagogie…. ( un anglais parfait et un moniteur francophone si besoin) J’appréhendais un peu ce saut dans l’inconnu mais oh comme je ne regrette rien ! Si vous avez envie de vous lancer, si vous êtes connaisseurs ou curieux n’hésitez plus ! De plus les conditions sont vraiment parfaites ( bateau immense privatisé, snack, café et repas délicieux) encore merci pour cette expérience mémorable.
Anna Marieta RellamaHad 2 incredible dives with Amir and Scuba de Oro! Despite it being Black Saturday, we had the best and most comfortable experience seeing Mantigue Island and its dive sites. We saw plenty of flora and fauna underwater, with many large and small creatures out and about - turtles, snappers, groupers, stonefish, stingray, garden eels, sea breams, spadefish, etc. including a nudi that was just riding the drift! Delicious lunch, smooth booking, superb guidance and equipment, and a great fun experience overall!
Romel AlboresHighly recommended. Top notch service making our family diving experience incredibly enjoyable.
Sabella BranomWe had such a wonderful time diving with Scuba de Oro in Camiguin. The dive sites were beautiful and full of life, but what truly made the experience stand out was the way Amir and Francesca handled our group — especially the kids and not-so-kids. They were incredibly patient, calm, and reassuring, taking the time to explain everything clearly and make sure everyone felt safe and confident, no matter their experience level. It was really amazing to see how fast they connected with the younger ones, making the whole experience fun, educational, and stress-free. They even shared stories and insights about the sea creatures we encountered, which added so much to the dives. It wasn’t just a tour — it felt like learning and discovering with passionate friends.Load more

Best dive shop on Camiguin.
—
This award was based on our commitment to diver safety standards and our actions and commitment to protecting the marine environment.
We spend considerable time and resources on underwater cleanups (including ghost net removal which is labor intensive), COT population control and made significant investments in emergency equipment and training as well as our gas filling system and its maintenance to ensure our divers only breathe medical grade air.
And we will continue our effort to provide the best scuba diving experience to our guests and students.
