Dauin, a charming coastal town in the Philippines, is celebrated for offering the best scuba diving in Philippines. Nestled along the southeastern coast of Negros Island, Dauin is part of the Coral Triangle, home to the richest marine biodiversity on the planet. Divers here encounter a mesmerizing variety of marine life, from vibrant coral gardens and colorful reef fish to rare and exotic critters like flamboyant cuttlefish, ornate ghost pipefish, and various nudibranchs.

The accessibility of Dauin’s dive sites is a significant advantage. Many top spots are just a short boat ride or directly accessible from the shore, allowing divers to maximize their underwater time. The calm, clear waters are perfect for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced divers. Renowned dive centers, like Critter Republic, provide comprehensive services, including equipment rental, guided dives, and scuba certification courses, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience.

Dauin is mostly known for it’s muck diving, which is where we would find the ultra rare species that we have on our critter bucketlist, but there are also sites with incredible reefs. Dauin’s proximity to Apo Island, famous for its pristine coral reefs and sea turtles, enhances its appeal. The combination of extraordinary biodiversity, convenient dive site access, and a welcoming community with a range of accommodation options solidifies Dauin’s reputation as one of the most beautiful underwater places in the world.
