The diving
Panglao is seriously one of the best places to dive in the Philippines that offers it all! The dive crew are highly professional, the equipment is tip top and the atmosphere is relaxed and super friendly! Not to mention, that the house reef is just steps away from the dive center which gives unbeatable convenience and is PACKED with life!
Besides the amazing shore diving, the crown jewels of the region's reefs, Balicasag and Pamilican Islands, are just short boat rides away from the dive center. Here you will find incredible wall diving, teeming with life! Think turtles cruising past, schools of fish in every direction, and vibrant coral gardens. And when you're ready for more? Huge schools of fish, and the kind of visibility that makes you want to stay underwater forever. And if you are really lucky, you’ll be swimming with the majestic whaleshark! (it’s a plankton feeding shark, google it, you want to see this incredible creature!)
Location
Bohol Island isn’t just a place - it’s the gateway to diving paradise. Nestled right on Alona Beach, the dive center gives you immediate access to over a dozen world-class dive sites (many within a kilometre) plus more reachable by a quick boat ride. The coastal diversity is absolutely stunning, both above and below the water.
Your Resort
La Sirenita is one of those rare gems where people check in "just for a night" and stay for weeks. Quaint, charming, and oozing with low-key cozy vibes, it sits mere steps from the beach with lush gardens and tranquil corners to unwind. There's free WiFi, and rooms open onto balconies, terraces or garden views, ideal for diving downtime. While there’s no restaurant onsite, each room has a fridge and an electric kettle, but there are restaurants close by as well.
