Sea Dive Resort

Situated in the centre of Coron town and built over the water, this resort is owned and run by an American father and son partnership: Jim and Chris Goll. From small beginnings this resort has expanded to become one of the most successful resorts in the area.

The resort has very large deluxe air con rooms on the third floor, complete with en suite bathrooms at only Php800.00 per room per night.

Standard air con rooms are available on the first/ground floor at Php500.00 per room per night.

And fan rooms on the second floor at Php500.00 per room per night.

The resort boasts the largest restaurant in town and caters for 'Western' as well as local cuisine.

Sea Dive also has a very comfortable 'Helldiver' bar, complete with satellite TV, and named after the aircraft type that sank the wrecks back in 1944.

An ideal spot for enjoying those apres dive drinks and catching up on the latest news from 'reality'!

The resort has it's own dive shop and the prices are some of the cheapest anywhere in Asia.

The normal format is a two-dive day, usually at the wrecks, which will cost Ph2,250.00 and includes lunch, cooked onboard, and a complimentary drink, or two!

They are a real 'happy-go-lucky' bunch of guys and we enjoy their company enormously. However, sometimes they can get a bit lax on the discipline front: surface intervals get a bit short, no nitrox register, C-cards don't get checked etc... So, my advice is, if you are experienced divers, wanting recreational diving only, this is the place for you but remember, you are responsible for yourself when underwater so don't go doing anything you know to be wrong.

Be warned, this, like all the other resorts in Coron apart from Dive Link, has no swimming pool. It also has no beach. This is a dive dedicated resort but if you want to go Island hopping to the local beaches see boat chartering to hire a local banka boat.

Quite frankly, this resort cannot be bettered if it is value for money you are looking for.
