Boracay is a great Philippine scuba diving holiday location, simply because it combines a wide range of Philippine dive tour activities with one of the best beaches in the world plus the numerous good quality resorts, restaurants, bars and night time events.
On surveying the various languages offered by the dive schools centred around Nigi Nigi’s Boracay Beach Resort on White Beach we find dive services and instruction in English, French, Hebrew, German, Korean, Japanese, Italian, Spanish and Swedish. For safety reasons it is preferable for beginners to receive instruction in their mother tongue.

In order for non-divers to experience the wonders of the underwater world most schools offer short P.A.D.I. Discover Scuba Diving Introductory plus Beginner’s Open Water Courses. White Beach, with its warm tranquil waters and gentle sandy slope, is the ideal place for those first training sessions followed by shallow yet exhilarating dives to the local coral reefs, where the student can enjoy the vast richness of tropical reef life, while still training within a calm protected environment.
The Discover Scuba Diving program is purely an introductory course completed within one day, with intro-lectures, video, shallow water equipment demonstration followed by the first chaperoned dive. For beginners wishing to proceed to the first level P.A.D.I. certification, all schools offer 4 day Open Water Courses (O.W.), which is the most recognized international certification.
The O.W. course includes thorough equipment familiarization and basic scuba diving techniques and includes extensive lectures and three to four adventurous dives designed to progressively increase the skill level of the student. For those wishing to upgrade their P.A.D.I. certification level the Boracay scuba diving schools offer the full range of P.A.D.I. courses from Advanced level to Instructor training programs.
For certified divers Boracay and its surroundings offer a wide variety of dive excursions including spectacular coral gardens, deep wall drop-offs, drift and night dives. With a well planned dive schedule a qualified diver can complete up to four exciting dives a day. To expand your diving enjoyment many Boracay scuba diving schools offer overnight dive safaris to the surrounding islands, each with unique underwater treasures making Boracay Island a premier center for Philippine scuba diving and a great Philippine vacation.
