Shark Divers offers a full range of PADI diving
courses from beginner certification through to professional. Our
experienced and knowledgeable diving instructors have been through PADI's
(Professional Association of Diving Instructors) rigorous training procedures
and have taught hundreds of people to dive. We want you to get the most
out of your diving lessons and so we teach in very small groups, usually
one-on-one. This means you can take as long as you like doing your course.
If you are in a hurry you can go faster, if you want to take it easy,
go slower. We have male and female dive instructors if you have a preference.
We are the top PADI Dive Center on Malapascua and one of the top in the Philippines as shown by our annual PADI awards. Find out more about us.

New to diving?

choice. You can learn easily in Malapascua's calm, clear waters. After certification you can
progress to other dive sites such as the shark dive.
You have several options if you have never dived before:
 In
only 2-3 hours you can learn the basics and complete a PADI Discover Scuba Diving Experience with one of
our PADI instructors. It is a great way to try out diving. You will have
a brief diving theory lesson, complete a few skills in shallow water, then
go on a dive. If you like it, you can credit the experience and the cost
towards your Open Water Certification.
The PADI Open Water Diver Course is PADI's entry level scuba certification course and is recognized
everywhere around the world. We make diving interesting, safe, and above
all, fun. Average time is 3-4 days and we will go at your pace.

of it in Malapascua and become a PADI Scuba Diver, or do as much as you can
and get a PADI Referral. Complete the rest of your course at any PADI
Dive Center around the world.
