Mariposa Diving was established on Pandan Island in 1992 under Swiss/Czech  management. This small, but well equipped dive shop offers PADI courses of all levels in three languages (English, French, Tagalog). There are 16 complete sets of equipment available for hire (Seaquest-BCD's, US-divers and Sherwood regulators) and over 50 tanks. Nitrox dives and courses are available.
If you would like to know more about the diveshop staff, please visit our 'Who is Who' page.

Mariposa Diving offers not only dives around Pandan Island, but also has established itself as the leading dive operator organizing dive safaris to Apo Reef, the biggest atoll in the Philippines. We most probably log more dives on Apo Reef then all other diveshops in the area together, so if you are planning to dive Apo Reef, make sure you dive with the experts.
Other attractions include Coron & Busuanga, one of the best wreck diving areas in the world. Our regular trips to dive on more than twelve wrecks from World War II are limited to eight guests at a time for pleasure, as large groups scare marine life away and for safety reasons, as small groups are easier to control on a wreck. For more details please switch to our Safari page.
