Spend your precious holiday diving instead of travelling in between dive destinations with our new Banca Safari Adventure.

With the acquisition of a new spacious and comfortable diving banca, we are pleased to offer a dive safari to the famous muck diving destination of the Verde Island Passage-Anilao.

Our boats are custom built for divers comfort and photographer's requirements in mind.

Our 10 day itinerary covers the best dive sites of the Verde Island Passage, which has been dubbed the center of the center of marine biodiversity by USA base marine scientists after a 10 year study .

From the famous dive sites of Puerto Galera, to the vertiginous 5-star rated walls of Verde Island, we will take you across the passage to meet the macro critters of Anilao.
