Buddy Dive Center - Siargao

Buddy Dive Center operates out of Siargao, a spot more known for surfing than diving, but don’t let that fool you. They’re a solid option for exploring the local reefs, which tend to be healthy though not as dramatic as some other Philippine spots. We’d suggest Buddy Dive for divers looking for a relaxed vibe and a chance to combine their surface interval with some wave-watching, or if you’re already on the island and keen to get wet. Expect decent reef dives and a friendly crew.
