Panglao SCUBA Diving Certification Promo

Our special OWD and AA SCUBA Courses Promotion will take you from a novice to an advanced diver. You'll have the unique perk of transitioning to the Advanced Adventurer right after your OWD course with the same instructor. From our experience, it yields better diver as your instructor already knows you and will continue working on your buoyancy right where he stopped.  Continue reading and learn more about the course's itinerary.

Next, we'll move to the pool or confined water environment for hands-on training.
