DIVING IN CAMIGUIN ISLAND
Camiguin is a province at the tip of Northern Mindanao, accessible from the nearby Cagayan de Oro, Butuan, or Gingoog through Balingoan Port. 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!

J CaglayanOne of the best dive shops in the whole of SEA. Camiguin is an amazing location & Amir and his team are the most friendly and knowledgeable people you could hope to dive with. Their equipment is to a high level and well maintained + the food served on the boat is some of the best I’ve had in the Philippines. Completed my Advanced Open Water with Amir and Francesca. My dives were 1to1 which meant I really levelled up my skills in a short space of time. The groups are kept intentionally small which creates a really chilled vibe perfect for diving their amazing reef. They even went above and beyond to make a night dive possible for me at their ‘Jurassic Park’ site which was an experience I’ll never forget. 10/10 service all round - if you diving around this awesome island, Scuba De Oro should be your only choice!
GeorgeI had an absolutely amazing experience with Amir and his incredible crew at Scuba de Oro in Camiguin. Amir was an excellent instructor knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about diving. He helped me revive my PADI Open Water certification, and I felt confident, safe, and supported the entire time. The dives at Mantigue Island were unforgettable. Seeing the vibrant coral reefs, schools of fish, and majestic sea turtles was beyond exceptional, truly some of the best diving I’ve experienced. The crew was professional, friendly, and attentive, making every dive smooth and enjoyable. Scuba de Oro has one of the best facilities in Camiguin for learning how to scuba dive, renting high quality equipment, or scheduling fun dives. Everything was well organized, clean, and run with safety as a top priority. If you’re in Camiguin and looking to scuba dive, whether you’re a beginner or refreshing your certification, Scuba de Oro is the place to go. Highly recommended, and I can’t wait to dive with them again!
clara bendavidUn club de plongée absolument génial ! L’équipe est non seulement très gentille et accueillante, mais aussi très respectueuse de l’écosystème marin. La nourriture est délicieuse, l’ambiance chaleureuse, et nous avons eu la chance de voir une vingtaine de tortues lors de la sortie. Une expérience mémorable que je recommande à 100 % ! 🐢💙🤿 Merci pour tout !
AlexandreJe recommande vivement ce club pour vos plongées sur Camiguin. C’est pour moi la meilleure expérience de plongée que j’ai eu jusqu’à maintenant. ⭐️ Le bateau est spacieux et bien pensé. Snack et repas super bon. Le staff est extrêmement sympathique et serviable (les équipements sont préparés par leurs soins avant nos plongées). Les sites de plongées et les coraux sont magnifiques, on a eu la chance de pouvoir observer plus de 20 tortues en 3 plongées, un véritable paradis sous marin. Un club comme on en voit rarement. Merci Amir, Francesca et l’équipe Scuba de Oro pour cette journée incroyable. 🐢🫧
Danielle FarrellyWe did our open water PADI course here. Vlad , Madge and the rest of the team were great. Vlad was a great instructor and was very clear & precise with his instructions. You could tell he had over 2 decades of experience as he was answering any and all questions we had. We throughly enjoyed our time learning under him and would recommend Scuba de Oro to anyone.
Emilie JEn virkelig god oplevelse. Instruktører og personale fortjener 5 stjerner. Derudover var båden stor og selvom vi kun var 3 der skulle dykke, var der tilsvarende instruktører. Så vi havde en instruktør alene til os hver. Udstyr var desuden også godt og ventetiden mellem dyk kunne bl.a. bruges på at snorkle nær Mantigue Island. Alt i alt en af de mest behagelige dykkeroplevelser jeg har haft, med en skøn dag på havet. Ville vælge samme firma igen, hvis jeg kommer tilbage til Camiguin en dag.
Clara CerveraEm vaig treure el títol Open Water Diver PADI a Scuba de Oro i va ser molt bona decisió. L'Amir i el seu equip (Marina, Maj i tripulació) em van donar molta confinaça durant el curs per fer les meves primeres inmersions. Vaig apendre molt i m'ho vaig passar molt bé!👌 100% recomenable
AVladimir is the best in Camiguin. Nice boat with good chef, team that knows every spot where turtles may hide and sleep, first aid staff after jelly fish bite. Thank you and looking forward to see ya in Phuket!
Andrea GilsanzAyer disfruté muchísimo de la experiencia, hice mi primera inmersión con Amir, me hizo sentir segura en todo momento. Amir transmite mucha calma, se toma tiempo para darte todas las explicaciones y practicar. Me fue mostrando toda la fauna marina para que no me perdiera nada. El resto del equipo de Scuba de Oro fue también muy amable, disfrutamos mucho del día. La comida buenísima!Load more

In December 2024, Scuba de Oro was voted
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.
