The Three P Beach & Dive Resort

The Three P Beach & Dive Resort is a family-owned operation situated on Romblon Island in the Philippines. Established in 2009 by three brothers, Peter, Philipp, and Patrick, the centre has spent over 14 years navigating and understanding the local waters.

The resort is positioned at the edge of the Verde Island Passage, a region recognised globally for its immense marine biodiversity. This location makes it a primary destination for divers seeking both large pelagics and the intricate details of macro life.

The centre is run by a family team with extensive experience in the local marine environment. This long-term residency allows the staff to provide high-level expertise in fauna identification, which is particularly useful for divers focusing on 'critters' and macro-photography.

Operating with a personalised approach, the team provides an English-speaking service for all guests. The atmosphere is built around a family-style hospitality, catering to both recreational divers and dedicated underwater photographers.

The waters around Romblon are home to a wide array of marine life, ranging from large pelagics to reef-dwelling species. You can regularly encounter eagle rays, dolphins, and porpoises, alongside various species of whales. The coral reefs are populated by a diverse range of coral reef fish, sea horses, and various echinoderms.

For those focused on macro-photography, the area is a significant sanctuary. The biodiversity includes a high concentration of invertebrates, mollusks, and crustaceans. You can find frogfish, various species of octopus, and a variety of crabs and shrimp throughout the habitat.

Specific highlights for macro enthusiasts include the presence of pygmy seahorses and rare pipefish. The ecosystem is particularly rich in mollusks and cephalopods, providing constant interest for divers looking for small, detailed subjects.

The local diving conditions are generally characterised by calm, clear, and warm waters. While the area is known for its biodiversity, the specific current profiles can vary depending on the location within the passage.
