Divesafaris

One of the most exciting activities on Pandan Island is to go on a dive safari with one of our two dive boats, M/B Pikoy or M/B Karla. Both vessels are local outrigger boats, called 'bangkas' or 'bancas' and are custom built for dive safaris, they provide fast and safe transport to all the dive sites and a large shaded area to spend your surface intervals.

Modern navigation and communication equipment, Schifauer air compressors, Wenoll oxygen systems and flushing toilets are standard on both bancas.

Our two main destinations for safaris are Apo Reef, with its coral gardens and deep walls for one or two days trips and Coron (Busuanga) with its hundred of islets and its famous World War II wrecks for four to six days trips. For those divers with who do not have a lot of time but still would like to experience the thrill of a wreck dive we also organize three day trips to the the nearest - and probably best kept - wreck of Busuanga, the Dimalanta Wreck. This safari also includes dives on Apo Reef.

Trips to Apo Reef are organized on a regular basis, about two to three times a week, the safaris to Busuanga are about twice a month.
