Combine special offers at Magic Oceans Resort in the Philippines and save £150 per person with Dive Worldwide
Enjoy the magic of the Philippines staying at the Magic Oceans Resort in the Visayas region and combine multiple offers. Dive Worldwide is offering savings of £80 per person per week, as well as an additional 5% off accommodation for divers booking before 30 September 2016 and travelling in September or October.
Located on the east coast of the island of Bohol, Magic Oceans Resort is the perfect base to discover the relatively unexplored Anda region. Featuring 15kms of dive sites along the coast, this area is home to an amazing biodiversity of the local reef life. Divers are spoilt for choice with over 30 dive sites to pick from – many suitable for all abilities. Notable dive sites include: Magic Point (the vibrant house reef), Neptune’s House, Mandarin Garden, Lamanok Island and Dap Dap – known for its flying gunards. Keep a look out for two types of pygmy seahorse, blue-ringed octopus, bobbit squid, pipefish and nudibranch in all shapes and sizes. Plus expect to see plenty of frogfish, ghost pipefish, sea snakes, black corals, turtles, barracuda and eagle rays. Anda is famous for its healthy corals and, whilst macro diving is high on the agenda here, divers can also explore walls, caverns and reefs teeming with marine life ranging from tiny critters to large pelagic species.
Magic Oceans Resort, which opened its doors to guests in July 2015, is set amongst tropical gardens, and boasts just 16 spacious detached bungalows, all enjoying panoramic views. Bungalows feature native-style furniture including king-size beds, air-conditioning, unlimited drinking water and WiFi internet access. There is also a restaurant/bar, a swimming pool suitable for dive training, a peaceful massage area and plenty of terraces in the sunshine or shade to relax on after a dive. The custom-built, PADI affiliated, Magic Oceans Dive Centre can accommodate up to 35 divers, each with their own area and kit box as well as showers, large rinse tanks and camera tables with charge points and airguns. A full range of courses, daily boat and shore diving are available here.
