Had the chance to see this amazing frogfish in one of the dives during our stay in Dauin on Negros Island in the Philippines WOW!!!!

Hello my wife and I are going to the Philippines for the first time in April and unfortunately we cannot do a liveaboard this time. So was wondering what locations we should go to. There's so many places it's making it hard to choose. I wish we could visit everywhere, but we are only there for 2...

I spent 4 days diving in Dauin in late May and had a fantastic time. I stayed at Wellbeach which is on the Dauin/Zamboanguita border. It's a very small resort and was only me and one other diver for the first 2 days and just me for the last 2 days. My dive guide was really good, he's been...

Hello, I am considering diving in Dauin for a few days at the end of May. Do you think this may be too late in the season, given weather and visibility? I live in Hong Kong so it's not a huge effort for me to get there for a few days. Thanks.

Intro : Skip to next chapter if you don't like reading or you're not interested with context. It’s been 3 years I haven’t written a dive report the start of the year might be an opportunity to catch up with 2022 dive trips : Dauin and a few places in Indonesia. Due to different locations, I’ll...

Hey guys, So I am planning a dive trip in the philippines. 3 weeks trip. Main focus is going to Anilao then to Cebu to visit family, and I will have 3-4 days after that, might check out Pangloa or Dauin. How many days would be good enough to dive Anilao? Would a 7 day trip be good or will it...

I purchased the Olympus TG6 a few weeks ago and I am quite excited about its macro capabilities. I use it with a Sea & Sea YS-D1 strobe, mostly in Aperture priority mode for still photography. The photographs are from Dauin in the Philippines. An anemone shrimp: Fire sea urchin anal bulb...

I hope my sense of humor resonates with a few other people: "Nemo" needed some disrespect, a new hand signal, and the whole family of the damselfishes should be re-named "hooliganfishes". Enjoy.

I'm lucky enough to live in the Philippines, so I managed to get some nice dives in during the last weeks. This over-under is from Apo Island, where the corals in the back of the island which were destroyed by typhoons about a decade ago are recovering nicely: This scribbled filefish...

I had the chance to do some dives with my Inon "bug eye" converter lens, which is a wide-angle lens, but one which allows for a very close focal distance. This lens is tricky to use, anything more than a few cm away from its glass it won't focus on very well. I found that it's a much better...

I live in the Dumaguete area, hence I am in the happy position to be able to dive in Dauin even during the pandemic. Diving is up and running, and allowed again after the stricter quarantine early last year. Some dive shops are still closed, others are running at reduced capacities, with covid...

I will always be amazed by the beauty of the sea creatures that I am lucky to meet. This time, it's an Anemone Shrimp that carries eggs, We can observe them in its transparent body… filmed at dauin (philippines)

Apo Island is known for its large schools of jackfish, turtle sightings and stretches of thriving reefs. At the other end of the spectrum, nearby Dauin and Zamboanguita are ideal for muck divers looking for rare and unusual creatures. Making this an ideal spot for any diver, especially those who...

I am quite excited about this video I shot of a Spiny Devilfish, filmed in Dauin, Philippines, with my Olympus E-M1. Parts of it I shot with the Inon "bug-eye" close-focus, wide-angle lens, which I like more and more for video (it needs a bit too much light for photography imo). This is an...

I was lucky enough to see two male dragonets fight each other in spectacular fashion not once but four times. And the last three times I was even able to point my camera at the action. Enjoy! Dauin, Negros Oriental, Philippines.

The diving community in Dauin on Negros Island found a juvenile Rhinopias! What an exciting fish. One could tell by the increasing number of boats moored at the dive site where the Rhinopias lives that it harbors something special. I visited several times, and while the dive spot had a bit of a...
