International Dive Excursion - Puerto Galera Philippines

🇵🇭 BEYOND HAWAIʻI. DIVE THE PHILIPPINES.
7 Nights • Up to 5 Dives a Day • Verde Island Passage • PADI 5-Star Resort

December 6–13, 2026 | Puerto Galera, Philippines
Go farther. Dive more. Experience one of the world's great underwater destinations.

Waikiki Dive Center invites you to join us for an exceptional seven-night international dive adventure to Puerto Galera, Philippines, at the heart of the spectacular Verde Island Passage.

This is a trip for people who LOVE to dive.

Imagine waking up at a beautiful tropical resort, having breakfast, walking downstairs, and having your dive gear waiting for you. Dive. Come back to the resort for your surface interval. Dive again. Have lunch. Dive again.

And again.

Up to FIVE dives a day—including night diving.

You'll enjoy world-class valet diving, comfortable accommodations, fantastic food, and concierge-level service at Lalaguna Villas, a premier PADI 5-Star Instructor Development Resort in Puerto Galera.

And Waikiki Dive Center makes getting there easy.

🌊 WHY PUERTO GALERA?
Puerto Galera sits along the legendary Verde Island Passage, an extraordinary marine corridor famous for its biodiversity, brilliant coral reefs, abundant tropical marine life, exhilarating currents and exceptional underwater photography.

Even better, approximately 90% of the local dive sites are just a short five-minute boat ride from the resort.

That means:

Less time commuting. More time diving.

Surface intervals are back at the resort, so instead of spending your entire day sitting on a dive boat, you can relax in your room, grab something to eat, work on your camera, enjoy the resort—and then head back out for your next dive.

🤿 ALWAYS DIVE WITH A PADI 5-STAR RESORT
Especially when you're traveling halfway around the world.

Lalaguna Villas is a PADI 5-Star Instructor Development Resort with a professional dive operation staffed by experienced PADI Instructors and Divemasters.

The resort specializes in personalized diving and small groups, with approximately six divers or fewer per dive boat.

Your diving is professionally supported from beginning to end.

WORLD-CLASS VALET DIVING
This is vacation diving.

Let the dive team do the heavy lifting while you concentrate on what you came to the Philippines to do:

DIVE.

Your package includes unlimited scheduled boat dives —up to five dives per day, including a night dive.

Boat transfers, air tanks, weights, and professional PADI dive guides are included.

🚤 FAST BOATS. INCREDIBLE ACCESS.
Lalaguna operates a fleet of four modern speedboats, allowing divers to quickly reach Puerto Galera's dive sites.

And then there's Verde Island.

Lalaguna's fast boats can reach Verde Island in approximately 20 minutes, providing exceptional access to one of the signature diving experiences of the Philippines.

1. GET READY FOR THE PHILIPPINES!

✈️ PLANNING YOUR FLIGHTS
The resort portion of the trip runs:

Sunday, December 6 – Sunday, December 13, 2026
Because you cross the International Date Line when traveling from Hawaiʻi or the continental United States, pay careful attention to the local arrival date shown on your airline itinerary.

We strongly recommend arriving in Manila at least one day before the scheduled resort transfer.

This gives you time to rest, recover from the flight, and enjoy Manila before beginning the journey to Puerto Galera.

Many travelers choose to stay in Makati, which provides convenient hotels, restaurants, incredible massage options, and shopping options. Sheraton by the Airport is also a good option.

On transfer day, our group will travel from the designated Manila pickup point to Puerto Galera.

Transportation may include:

Manila → Air-Conditioned Van → Batangas → Ferry/Boat → Puerto Galera → Resort
