From easy weekend escapes near Manila to remote liveaboard expeditions, the Philippines offers macro life, wrecks, reef walls and big-animal encounters across the archipelago. The map below now uses a more accurate Philippines base outline and marks some of the best-known dive regions for trip planning and future DiverInterCom field notes.
The Philippines is a world-class dive destination because it combines easy access, extraordinary biodiversity and a huge range of underwater styles. In one country you can move from weekend macro diving to deep wrecks, drift dives, sardine runs and remote reef systems.
This updated map keeps the country shape much closer to the real archipelago while still matching the DiverInterCom visual style. It highlights the major island groups and the famous dive areas most divers recognize first.
