Philippines Dive Liveaboards
The Borneo Explorer Sails to the Apo Reef, Coron for the world famous fleet of Japanese WWII wrecks, and the Tubbataha Reef, deep in the Sulu Sea, Philippines.
Anilao - Apo Reef - Coron - Anilao (8 days /7 nights/6 diving days) September to February
The Borneo Explorer cruise begins and ends from Anilao, Batangas, departing from the Outrigger Resort as the jump off point.
The Borneo Explorer departs between 5-8 pm depending on the sea and weather conditions. It usually takes 12 hours to reach Apo Reef from Anilao where the boat will normally stay for 2 days before moving south to Northern Busuanga for one day, and then 3 days in Southern Busuanga where most of the wrecks are located. Guests have the option of cutting their 3 days short and return to Apo Reef.
Tubbataha (6, 7 or 8 day programs available) mid March to mid June
Puerto Princesa is the jump off point for this UNESCO World Heritage site, the only one in Asia that is marine in nature. An overnight sail brings divers to the Philippines premier dive site.
One of the last places for guaranteed sharks sightings, Tubbataha is also home to other pelagic species such as Tunas, mackerel, mantas, giant groupers, napoleon wrasse. The short weather window and zealous park rangers that guard Philippines diving’s crown jewel ensure a reef system that is as pristine as they come.
