If you’ve been dreaming of warm water, vibrant reefs, and the thrill of spotting the weird and wonderful, we’ve got just the trip (or two!) for you. Start your year with an underwater adventure in the heart of the Coral Triangle—home to the richest marine biodiversity on the planet.

We’re heading to the Philippines, where over 75% of the world’s known coral species thrive alongside a staggering array of marine life. Think pygmy seahorses, turtle-packed reefs, sardine bait balls, thresher sharks, and even the occasional whale shark.

Tucked between palm trees on Cebu’s west coast, Magic Island Resort offers a peaceful escape just minutes from Moalboal’s dive action. Set on a rocky shoreline with direct access to a vibrant house reef dropping to 50m, you’re steps away from daily turtle sightings, frogfish, pygmy seahorses, and thriving coral.

After a day underwater, enjoy delicious meals at the resort’s restaurant, featuring fresh, lovingly prepared Filipino, Asian, and Western dishes—perfect for every palate and dietary need.

You can join us for one trip—or go all in for both and experience the best of both worlds. With cozy, diver-focused resorts, epic reefs right off your doorstep, and a crew of local dive pros who love finding the tiny stuff, this is a trip that’s equal parts relaxing and wildly rewarding.

Both trips offer the warm hospitality, expert guiding, and biodiversity that make the Philippines one of our favorite places to dive. Whether you’re in it for the big sightings, the macro photography, or just the laid-back island vibes—this is your chance to start the year in the water, where you belong.

You can book just one of these adventures—or combine them into the ultimate Philippines dive getaway. We’ll help you plan the smoothest transition between trips so you can focus on what matters: diving, relaxing, and soaking up every underwater moment.
