Why every diver should aspire to become a Divemaster
Becoming a Divemaster is a dream of many scuba divers. It does sound pretty cool: being a master in diving! But what does a Divemaster
Scuba diving in the Philippines is amazing. Explore it from our PADI 5* CDC Dive Resort!
Liquid Dive Resort is a small boutique resort located on a secluded beach front in Dauin, home to some of the best diving in the Philippines. Established in 2011, Liquid Resort has evolved over the years. We have continuously expanded and improved our facilities, yet the one thing that remains constant is our staff. The heart and soul of Liquid. Our local team will welcome you with Filipino hospitality. You will arrive as a guest and leave as a friend.
The ocean has been our passion since the day we opened our doors. Our PADI 5* CDC dive center has won numerous PADI and PADI AWARE awards and has been a Green Fins member since 2019. Our in-house Institute for Marine Research (IMR), works closely with the local government and our local community to protect our corner of the Coral Triangle. Together we strive to be leaders in sustainable diving and resort practices in the Philippines.
Located only 20 minutes from Dumaguete city, Liquid is well equipped to cater for experienced divers, couples looking for a quiet retreat and families wanting a relaxing beach holiday. Whether you desire to take a course at our PADI 5* CDC dive center, read a book by one of our swimming pools, join a fitness class at our spacious gym, watch the sun rise on the beach front, utilize our co-work space, play a game of billiards, hike to waterfalls or indulge in a relaxing massage you will find the perfect place here at Liquid.
The Philippines lies in the Coral Triangle which is home to over 600 different reef-building coral species, creating one of the most diverse ocean environments on the planet.
Dauin coast has made a name for itself as one of the premier muck diving destinations in Asia. With over 30 different dive sites offering a wide array of critters, this area offers a little bit of everything for all levels of divers, whether you are beginner or professional photographer you will find be amazed by the diversity of the Dauin coast.
Liquid's house reef 'Mainit', is the best drift dive in Dauin, where you can encounter schools of barracuda, turtles, blue spotted rays, morays, healthy coral outcrops and schools of tropical fish. One of its most unique features is the natural hot spring that can be found towards the end of your dive. This unique experience is must dive for all our guests.
Only a short boat ride from Liquid is Apo Island, famous for being one of the first official Marina Protected Areas (MPA) in the country. Apo offers stunning coral reefs, abundant marine life, great walls and turtles on most dives. We recommend you join us on a 3 dive day trip, at least once during your stay
Liquid is an eco-friendly resort with ongoing environmental initiatives, we strive to be environmentally conscious both above and below the waves. For many years we have been a plastic free resort, we conduct dive site and beach clean-ups on a regular basis and our retail outlet only sells locally sourced and produced products.

The dive excursion offered to Apo island comes in a package that was effective, well-organized and worth every single peso, considering all that came included. The food in the restaurant is absolutely AMAZING, as well as service overall at the whole resort in their facilities. I stayed in their Deluxe cottage(Clean, lots of space and very nice for couples)
DIVING:
As an active dive instructor myself I have to say that their dive resort gave a really professional experience for diving and it seemed to me that the team has good ambience, people enjoyed their job. I think that matters a lot. They have two pools(one separate for diving that has been designed for PADI standards) as well as two classrooms(of which one is an official IDC classroom) I got to borrow books, even though I was not doing any course, and it’s also possible to order personal Diving Labels from their reception!
The best was that I could literally walk from the diveshop, do my dive and return, without having to carry my tank nor box. That’s proper diving service. Very grateful for all the assistance and good guiding 🙂
One very big plus with my stay here was that Zoe and Tim have preserved very much of the nature and genuine feeling of being in the Philippines within the resort. I really like that. Another(not as important but nice) plus was that the boat served homemade cookies after the dive!
Had a lovely stay, highly recommended!! read less

The dive team made us feel super safe and looked after, the equipment was great and the dive sites were incredible. Honestly never dived at a place like Apo Island!
From a resort point of view, we loved it! Stayed for 3 nights and loved our room, the gardens and the fact that we were out of the city. All in all a great place to relax & dive! Thank you Tim, Zoe, Jim & Michelle for having us and putting up with the bagpipes! read less

Do you have a scuba bucket list? If yes, the Philippines is probably already on it (if not, it should be!). But have you already
I feel this needs to be bunched together as not all fins require boots. Open heel vs closed heel fins Personally I prefer to have
