Located in Lapu-Lapu, Cebu Dive Tribe operates as a community-focused centre for divers of all experience levels. It is built around a multi-agency approach, allowing you to choose the certification path that best suits your goals through RAID, NAUI, SSI, or CMAS.
The centre is designed by divers for divers, moving away from the standard tourist model to focus on a lifestyle-oriented approach to the underwater world. Whether you are looking for your first breath underwater or are pursuing a professional career, the focus remains on personalised instruction and shared expertise.
The team is comprised of experienced, multi-agency instructors dedicated to sharing technical and recreational skills. This diversity in affiliation means you can access a broad spectrum of training standards and methodologies depending on your specific needs.
For those looking to transition from recreational diving to a professional career, the centre runs a dedicated 'Zero to Hero' programme. This structured path guides aspirants from Open Water Diver through to Rescue Diver, with the opportunity to complete Divemaster training upon finishing the required course sequence.
The training catalogue is extensive, covering the full recreational spectrum from Open Water Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver to Rescue Diver and Divemaster levels. They also offer specialised training such as Nitrox and Recreational Sidemount.
For technical divers, the centre provides more advanced pathways, including Intro to Technical Diving, Technical EANx Diver, and Technical Decompression Diver. Professional development is further supported by Scuba Instructor courses and DAN First Aid and CPR training. Underwater photography workshops are also available for those looking to improve their imaging skills.
The centre provides a full range of rental equipment for those not travelling with their own kit. This includes regulators, BCDs, wetsuits, fins, and masks.
Beyond rental gear, the facility offers professional equipment maintenance and repair services. This is a practical resource for divers looking to ensure their personal kit is in top condition during their stay in the Philippines.
