A guide will drive you from the airport or hotel to the boat. Board the vessel between 13:00-17:00 at Cebu Yacht Club. You will then be assigned a cabin and given a welcome/safety briefing.

DAY 2:
Heading southwest through the Cebu Strait, we aim to dive in Sumilon, Cabilao and Bohol. We will stop in Balicasag to dive in Black Forest and Rico's Wall, where we can spot schools of jack fish and hiding frogfish. We then keep going south in search of whale sharks.

DAY 3:
Around the sites of Dauin, we commonly see leaffish, ghost pipefish and frogfish, as well as plenty of green turtles. Some of the coral formations are practically perfect, and play host to pretty mandarinfish. On Apo Island we can visit the beach, a paradise for macro lovers. 

DAY 4-5:
After a crossing from Dauin, we will arrive in the Cagayancillo Islands. Here we will be diving sheer walls covered in sea fans and patrolled by sharks and schools of jacks. We’ll also head into deep water in search of hammerhead sharks. 

DAYS 6-9:
Whilst diving at Tubbataha, we will be exploring cleaning stations where sighting of almost anything can occur, including silky sharks, grey reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks and tiger sharks and manta rays. Lucky divers might also see whale sharks or even guitar sharks. Keep an eye out for huge schools of jacks and barracuda, as well as schooling hammerheads in the blue. We will also discover large plateaus of acropora table corals and untouch staghorn corals, as well as deep walls covered by sea fans where we’ll be looking for pygmy seahorses.

Enjoy a final dive of two before embarking on the crossing from Tubbataha to Puerto Princesa.
