Our Mission
Philippines Diving Guide was created with a simple yet profound mission: to share the extraordinary underwater world of the Philippines with divers and snorkelers from around the globe. We believe that informed travelers make better choices, and that better choices lead to more sustainable tourism that benefits both visitors and local communities.
The Philippines sits at the heart of the Coral Triangle, the global epicenter of marine biodiversity. With over 7,600 islands, 27,000 kilometers of coastline, and waters teeming with more than 2,000 species of fish and 500 species of coral, the archipelago offers diving experiences found nowhere else on Earth. Our goal is to help you discover these underwater treasures while promoting responsible practices that protect them for future generations.
What We Provide
Our website serves as a comprehensive resource for planning diving and snorkeling adventures in the Philippines. We offer:
- Detailed guides to major dive destinations including UNESCO World Heritage sites, marine sanctuaries, and popular reef systems
- Practical information about diving conditions, best seasons to visit, and skill level requirements
- Insights into marine life encounters and underwater photography opportunities
- Conservation context that helps visitors understand the ecological significance of the sites they explore
- Links to authoritative resources for further research and trip planning
Our Approach
We prioritize accuracy and practicality in our content. Rather than promotional language, we focus on providing the information divers actually need to make informed decisions. We acknowledge that conditions vary, that not every dive will be perfect, and that responsible diving requires understanding both the opportunities and limitations of each destination.
We maintain editorial independence and do not accept payment for featured coverage. Our recommendations are based on research, diver feedback, and the ecological significance of sites. We regularly update our content to reflect current conditions and new information.
Conservation Commitment
The marine environments we celebrate face significant threats from climate change, overfishing, pollution, and unsustainable development. We believe that diving tourism, when conducted responsibly, can provide economic incentives for conservation and foster appreciation for marine ecosystems.
We encourage all visitors to:
- Support marine protected areas through entrance fees and responsible behavior
- Choose dive operators who follow sustainable practices
- Practice excellent buoyancy to avoid contact with coral
- Refuse to participate in activities that harm marine life
- Share knowledge about marine conservation with fellow travelers
