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! We would love to bring you there, and serve you in a style that will surpass your expectations.

OUR HAPPY DIVERS
Cristina GilLa mejor escuela de buceo en Camiguin. No lo dudes más. Amir, su instructor, es de los mejores profesionales de buceo que he conocido. Transmite su amor por este mundo y su dedicación es excepcional. Gracias a él he mejorado mi buceo de forma exponencial. No le importa el tiempo que requiera, se adapta para que tu experiencia buceando sea espectacular. Conoce bien los mejores lugares para bucear en la isla y procura que tu experiencia sea inolvidable. Además de su flexibilidad con los horarios de buceo, se ha implicado en toda mi estancia en Camiguin, procurando que estuviese bien y enseñándome los mejores lugares. Gracias Amir por hacerme mejor buceadora. Ya soy Advaced!

Gracias, Cristina. Yo solo fui la facilitadora y tú ejecutaste mis sugerencias. Fuiste todo tuya. Me alegro de que te lo hayas pasado genial durante el curso. ¡Enhorabuena! Sí, eres una open water avanzada. Quién sabe, puede que vuelvas a hacer el curso de rescate aquí.Marta Villanueva VillaverdeHicimos el curso de advance open water con Amir. Fue encantador, pillamos mal tiempo y aún así, Amir hizo que nuestra experiencia en la isla fuese increíble. Mucho más que un instructor de buceo, super atento a nuestras necesidades y muy buen profesor. Lo recomendaría mil veces. Amir tienes dos amigas en Madrid.

Hola Marta, thank you. The crew and I are glad you and Cristina enjoyed your stay here in the beautiful island of Camiguin. Keep on diving and learning. See you soon, Jefa 🤘🏽Matthieu HuangAll the places Amir and Scuba de Oro took us to were so rich with life. Camiguin is the first place I've dived where its rarer to go in the water without seeing a turtle. I already had my open water license before diving with them, but it was great to get tips on how to move under water to preserve air. I lasted 40minutes in my first dive, and 55 minutes on my last. It's an added bonus that the food on board was great too.

Hi Matt, thank you. The crew and I had fun as well. To be more proficient as a diver, continue practicing. Great job on your gas consumption. Less movement, more gas. 🤘🏽Norman William MacababayaoI recently had the pleasure of diving with Scuba de Oro, and I can't recommend them highly enough! Their commitment to safety, adventure, and customer satisfaction truly sets them apart. All you have to do is sit, sleep, eat, dive, relax, and enjoy the whole experience.. The staff—Ma'am Francesca, Sir Mimay, Sir Allan, the Master Chef (whose name I forgot 😂) — led by the amazing instructor, Sir Vladimir, made every dive so fun and exciting. The recent Camiguin Dive Festival was already a wonderful event and Scuba de Oro made it a blast. So, if you're looking for an unforgettable diving experience in Camiguin, Scuba de Oro is the way to go! Trust me, they are the best!! 📸 by Scuba de Oro

Hello Luzy, thank you. We are happy to serve you and your team. Congratulations on your underwater photo awards, we are all proud of you.Nicole CoponWant to experience "real" diving in the Philippines? This is one of the better experiences I had so far! Amir and Francesca were some of the best and most accommodating hosts I've had - my team did 16 dives in 3 days (13+ hours some days on the boat) and they happily made sure we were taken care of. Camiguin has very beautiful reefs, some macro critters and bonfire dives that I've only experienced in Batangas. This was the first time I've seen a sea hare "flying" in the ocean during a bonfire dive. When I say "real" diving - the experience is all about the diving and Filipino hospitality for a very affordable budget. The meals we had on the boat were all local fare, freshly cooked seafood a lot of the time - definitely delicious after a few hours diving. If you want more vegetarian fare, just let them know, there's at least one or two veggie dishes served with the meals. The dive conditions were great 95% of the time, great visibility and definitely a lot of sea life to spot. I've gotten lost a few times (following bonfire critters) but Amir or Francesca kept an eye on us and we always got back to the boat safe and sound. If you're an underwater photographer tell Amir or Francesca what you want to see and you might get lucky!
