Diving in the Philippines,
with Deluna Dive Resort

Philippine diving is known primarily for its macro world, and Mindoro is a classic underwater macro. The list is endless: thousands of incredible species of nudibranches and other mollusks, seahorses, pygmies and pipefishes, electric shells, fire cuttlefishes, frogfishes of all colors and sizes (from tiny to giant), shrimps and crabs – during one dive you can see as many rare life forms that cannot be found in other places in a year.

Although Mindoro is known primarily for its macro-world, our island is also home to a large number of large wildlife: giant turtles, stingrays and eagle rays, octopuses, and very close to our hotel there is a magnificent Hibo Reef with white-tip and gray reef sharks. In addition, there is a dive site in Puerto Galera with several dozen giant oysters (Tridacna) weighing 100-120 kilograms, which is protected by UNESCO.

Also, since most of the sites have currents of one strength or another, our sites are beloved by pelagic fish species like tuna, barracuda, mackerel and others.
