Phoenix. PG Diving Resort - Anilao
The team at Phoenix. PG Diving Resort are serious about dive education, plain and simple. If you’re looking to go pro, or just really want to nail your skills, this is the place. We’ve found their instructors incredibly dedicated, running a PADI 5 Star IDC Resort with a real focus on developing confident, competent divers. We love their setup for IDC candidates; it’s intensive but super supportive. Beyond the courses, Phoenix. PG sits in a quieter spot away from the main bustle of Sabang, which we appreciate after a long day of dives. You get that gentle hum of the jungle at night, mixed with the distant sound of the sea. Our favourite part? The easy access to the numerous local sites; think vibrant soft corals swaying in the current and the chance to spot everything from pygmy seahorses on Gorgonian fans to chunky frogfish camouflaged on the reef. It’s an ideal base if you're serious about your diving and want a solid operation with experienced guides right on your doorstep.
