Equation Diving - Bohol
The team at Equation Diving are the real deal, particularly if you appreciate a dive operation that genuinely walks its eco-tourism talk. We always gravitate towards centres that do more than just talk about sustainability, and Equation’s Longitude 181 award tells you they’re serious. They’re a fantastic pick if you’re looking for thoughtful, personalised diving, especially for PADI certifications from Open Water right up to Divemaster. What we love most about Equation is their focus on smaller groups. You won't find yourself herded onto a packed boat here. Instead, expect tailored trips around Bohol, Panglao, and the always-impressive Balicasag. We’ve had some truly fantastic dives with them, spotting schools of jacks so thick you could barely see the surface, and once even a shy thresher shark cruising near Cabilao. Their guides have an uncanny knack for finding the macro critters too – we’re talking nudibranchs you didn’t even know existed, and pygmy seahorses tucked perfectly into their gorgonian homes. Go early for Balicasag; the reefs feel more alive before the main crowds arrive, and the light filtering through the water just after sunrise is something else.
