Dauin

Dauin (Negros Oriental) is a well-known small coastal diving base in the Philippines, located on the Sulu Sea side. Divers commonly use Dauin as a jump-off for shore dives and short boat trips to local reef areas and sandy slopes, where conditions are typically warm and visibility can vary by season and weather. The area is especially popular for critter diving, with frequent chances to spot small marine life around reef structure and rubble, while larger pelagics depend more on the specific site and day. Most diving is done with local dive centers that arrange guided sessions, gear rental, and regular site scheduling from the shoreline or nearby launch points. If you’re planning scuba in Dauin, it’s worth checking recent conditions with your center because currents and visibility can change quickly.
