Set in one of the premier diving locations in the Philippines, Sierra Madre Divers was one of the first dive shops on Alona Beach and is now the only PADI 5* Instructor Development Centre on the beach. Discover the underwater world of Bohol with our experienced local dive guides, some of whom have been diving here for over ten years! We offer a full range of PADI courses from entry-level Open Water Diver to professional level Instructor training and IDC Staff Instructor internships.
See the school of jacks, turtles galore, and rich coral walls at Balicasag Island; or go slow and steady with the frogfish, nudibranchs and colorful reef life on the reefs fringing Panglao Island. Lucky punters might also see graceful whale sharks cruise past as they migrate across the Bohol Sea.
