OUR HAPPY DIVERS
Rea Keelwe had an amazing experience diving with scuba de oro! vladimir was quick and very professional with how he handled our request and gave us lots of information beforehand about the dive boat, the dives themselves and everything around the day. The team on site was kind and qualified and made our dives safe while still being fun.😁 if you have the chance to dive with scuba de oro - do it, you won't regret it!✨
Noémie hoyoScuba de Oro c’est le club avec lequel il fait plonger à Camiguin 🫧. Équipe au top, équipement de qualité, super snacks et repas. Mais surtout : un partage d’expérience rarement vécu ailleurs. On a pu profiter des conseils de Vladimir et d’un accompagnement vraiment top. Merci à toute l’équipe, on espère avoir l’occasion de replonger avec vous 🤞🏻
Irene PerilliWe did the Advance Open Water Course with them and it was fantastic! The team and the crew is highly qualified and made us feel comfortable from the very beginning! The divings and the time spent with them onboard were amazing!
Oceane LeloutreNous avons vécu une très belle expérience avec Scuba de Oro, une journée avec 3 plongées autour de Mantigue Island. La dive master, ainsi que tout l’équipage (dont Sharky) était très attentionnée, la nourriture était excellente et les plongées incroyable ! Je recommande fortement !
Octave le GouvelloGreat diving experience. Vladimir and Maj are passionate divers and they took the time to explain a lot about the diving community here in Camiguin. Felt safe, equipment was good. 2 dives package included a very nice lunch on the boat after the two dives. Had a great time
Ely Caezar VelosoHad my DSD last January 25 & came back a month after for Open Water Course. My instructors Sir Amir had excellent knowledge, good communicator & showed situational relevance to instructions; Mam Francesca was engaging, inspiring & precise under water! Along with Nejc my dive buddy, Maj & Marion maintained nice atmosphere all throughout. The whole crew with Alan & Cole had superior dynamics. No need to mention the gears & equipments, food & the boat you can look at other reviews. Already planning as to when we can come back. 👌🏼👌🏽👌🏾
Lara KammererMy first “Discover Scuba” dive with Scuba De Oro was simply incredible! 🤿✨ My instructor Vladimir was absolutely fantastic. I had a private session with him, and he took plenty of time to explain everything calmly, clearly, and in a way that was easy to understand. Very quickly I felt completely comfortable and safe. His professionalism truly made the difference. The dive itself was just WOW — such an unforgettable experience! Everything was very well organized, and I felt well taken care of the entire time. The whole Scuba De Oro team was also extremely friendly, warm, and welcoming. I can highly recommend Scuba De Oro — and especially Vladimir — to everyone!
Sandrine PascheEveryone told me Scuba de Oro was the best in Camiguin, and they didn't lie! I've dived many times in the Philippines, but the service they provided was amazing. Vladimir was an excellent teacher to my friends for their Disovery course, and everyone on the boat was extremely nice. Our dive master, Francesca, was very friendly too, and she had a lovely dog Sharky 🦈 🐶. The food and banana bread were also outstanding. We had an amazing day with them and I would strongly recommend this to anyone. If you're thinking of getting your license, perhaps this is one of the best spots in the Philippines.
Simone KoersWe had a great experience diving with Francesca! She was so experienced and relaxed. It was my first dive in a while so I was quitte nervous and she really helped me getting over my nerves. She could also tell us about the fish we saw in between the dives. We saw a lot of colourful fish, sea turtles, corals and even eagle rays. It was a wonderful day!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.
