International Dive Excursion

Learn from the best at Waikiki Dive Center, a PADI Five Star Instructor Development Center since 1979!

We hope you will join us on a trip to the beautiful Atlantis Resort in Puerto Galera for an exceptional seven-night visit to the center of the world’s marine biodiversity—the Verde Island Passage. You’ll enjoy world-class valet diving, great accommodations, incredible food, and concierge-level service provided by Atlantis Dive Resorts, the premier dive operation in the Philippines.

Here are some details of this once-in-a-lifetime trip:

The dates are July 13-20 and December 7-14, located in Puerto Galera, Philippines, at the beautiful Atlantis Resort. You’ll enjoy world-class VALET diving, great accommodations, top-chef cuisines, and concierge service provided by Atlantis Dive Resorts.

Here is what is included!
· 8 Day/7 Night accommodations, double occupancy (Single occupancy upgrade available)
· three gourmet meals per day at the resort
· Up to 5 world-class valet dives daily, including a night dive. They typically have no more than six divers per boat, and 90% of the dive sites are a short five-minute boat ride away. All surface intervals are at the resort
· Round trip transfers to/from Manila Airport and Atlantis Puerto Galera

It’s easy and hassle-free to book with Waikiki Dive Center:

  1. Call Waikiki Dive Center first with any questions and to see if there is room left!
  2. Make the per-person payment (i.e., full payment) to the Waikiki Dive Center by phone. We will send you an informational sheet to fill in so everything is organized according to your requests before arrival (e.g., timing, airport pickup, transfers, diving, meal requests, DAN Number, etc.).
  3. When both above are completed, make your airplane reservations and send those times and dates to the Waikiki Dive Center (and Atlantis). This ensures the appropriate Van/Boat transfer reservations are arranged seamlessly.
  4. Waikiki Dive Center will then send you helpful tips to enhance your trip (e.g., money exchange, diving recommendations, weather, etc.).
