I've been diving with Amir and his crew for over 15 years. As for a dive instructor and operator, I have yet to find better service anywhere else in the Philippines. The day long dive trips are well organized, expertly and enthusiastically guided and just a great way to "dive" in to the underwater world of Camiguin Island. In addition, I took my Tec40 together with Amir and subsequently Amir was my Tec45 instructor. At Scuba De Oro you are truly received with open arms and a smile and they will go out of their way to make each dive a memorable one. To describe Scuba De Oro team in one word...."passionate".

Great experience diving with the Scuba De Oro crew in 3 dive sites around Mantigue Island! We saw a lot of turtles!Easy to book the dives via text and FB messenger with the owner, AmirDive Instructor JJ gave me great guidance while underwater and we had a good discussion on a myriad of topics about Camiguin during the surface intervals.Entire crew (Mimai, Dante, & Captain Allen) were very accommodating & hospitable! They always made sure I was hydrated and properly equipped for the divesMorning snack (fried bananas & hot local cacao drink) & Lunch (eggplant, chicken, pork broth, rice, vegetables & pineapples) was delish!Boat was amazing as it had a bathroom, dining table, and changing room. Most comfortable diving boat I have ever experienced to dateDon’t miss them when you visit Camiguin for Mantigue Island DivesLooking forward to diving with them again!

We did our first discovering diving with Amir and his crew. I just have good words, they are amazing, took care every moment of us and in a very personalized way. Not feel it's just a business, they really enjoy diving and helping you through all the discovering. Also, Amir has helped us since we got to Camiguín genuinely. 100% recommend it.

Fantastic eight days of diving with owner instructor Amir, JJ, Mimie, Dante and Captain Allen. Loved every minute. My fiancé went through the PADI course with Amir and then we dove for over a week in the balmy coral & fish filled Bohol Sea off Campus Guion Island, Mantigue Island, Cabuan and the Sunken Cemetery. Saw literally tons of turtles, a huge cuttlefish and lots more. We will be back. Thanks for the great dives!

Back on Camiguin Island after the lockdowns and Diving with Scuba de Oro! Beautiful Large Banka (Traditional Philippines Boat with large Dual Out-Riggers) outfitted for SCUBA Diving with room for Families or SCUBA Tour Groups. Even non-divers enjoy staying on this boat and watching the Divers do their thing and seeing Camiguin and it’s many sights from the ocean while dining and relaxing. Private Changing Room & separate Bathroom. large Dining Table for the on-board cooked HOT meals and drinks in between dives and a very helpful and professional crew! The BEST DIVE OPERATION & MOST COMFORTABLE BOAT (non-liveabord) that I have had the pleasure to SCUBA Dive from in my 30 years of traveling. Dive with Scuba de Oro on Camiguin Island - you will not be disappointed! A++++

LEARN TO DIVE

Scuba de Oro offers scuba diving training courses, from Discover Scuba Diving, Open Water to Divemaster Levels, as well as other Specialty Courses.
All of these are certified directly by PADI.

PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) is the world’s leading scuba diver training organization.

Have you always wondered what it feels like to swim with the fishes? Satisfy your curiosity with Discover Scuba Diving and enter a whole new world of awesomeness.
Jump in and explore the world’s oceans by becoming an Open Water Diver. An OWD certification allows you to explore dive sites in every country in the world.
Want to go the extra mile and learn more? Advanced Open Water certification allows you to dive in more ways, and do more activities underwater. See wrecks, go on adventure dives, and even dive at night!
There’s nothing more rewarding than the confidence of exploring the sea and knowing that you can manage problems when they arrive. The Rescue Diver course teaches you what to do when problems arise, and be ready to save other divers.
The Divemaster course is the milestone to look forward to for most divers, and a starting point for those who want to teach diving to the rest of the world. The course is the first one to take if you want to make diving your profession.
Technical (tec) diving, at its core, means you go beyond the limits set on recreational diving. But as TecRec divers would say, it’s not just the limits: going beyond them is an adventure in itself; you see and learn so much more about the ocean, and even yourself.
