PSI DIVE - Dumaguete
PSI DIVE operates out of Dumaguete, a solid base for exploring the Negros Oriental coast. We've always found Dumaguete a practical spot, especially for quick access to Dauin’s muck diving or a day trip over to Apo Island’s reefs. If you’re looking for straightforward diving logistics in a busy, authentic Philippine city, PSI DIVE makes a decent jumping-off point for local dives. It’s a good choice for divers who prefer the convenience of a town centre operation rather than a more remote resort.
