Here's why Philippines is the TOP DIVING destination in the world 🇵🇭 Dauin & Apo Island diving
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- The town of Dauin in Negros Oriental is famous for having fantastic dive sites, and also for acting as the gateway to Apo Island.
Now, diving in both of these areas, it is clear as to why Philippines is ranked among the best places in the world to dive. And if you have watched Avatar: The Way of Water, you will immediately feel immersed in this video here!
This video is a bit different from the others I've made for the past year. It features more narration from me, and I hope you found it entertaining!

Hey all! I hope you enjoyed this video!
So it turned out quite different from what I initially had in mind. I did have some shots of me doing a bit of explaining, especially at the end, but I feel like the narration made the message more organised and better suited to be used throughout the video.
Also, tiny error at the absolute end. The drone footage was supposed to be stabilised but it somehow wasn't.
This format is aok for me. 👌👍🏻💪
I enjoyed it
Tubbataha Reef is the best diving destination int the philippines
you must help us help filipino we preserved the ocean but the china keep on harrasing our people who protect the ocean and preserved it beauty they built army on the area the coral and other live in the ocean was been destroy by china
❤❤❤ Thank you so so much Bro for promoting our country's pride of nature's best
Being married to a Filipino, I first experienced diving in the Philippines and I agree with your assessment...it is the best diving in the world (and I've been a lot of places in 20+ years). I return every year and am happy to say I will be in Dauin again in 2024. Apo is the most beautiful coral garden; in my mind, it is more beautiful than Tubbataha and easier to get to.
what do you think about Raja Ampat Indonesia, which one is more beautiful?
You are exaggerating ... It can't be more beautiful than Tubbataha as I have dove in both Apo Island and Tubbataha.
you are entitled to your opinion and I to mine@@dcg929 .
@@dcg929tubbataha dauin has its unique shape itself
Is it more beautiful compared to diving in bohol pamilacan and Balicasag
My husband he been in the Philippines to scuba diving and Bohol all over the Philippines he do diving and I miss my country in the Philippines 🇵🇭 and can’t wait to get home ❤and hope you enjoying my country ❤

Thank you for visiting our small island god bless❤
scuba is awesome but personally only been to apo once before I got my open water, the sea was choppy on one side but ok to snorkel on the other, I'd like to go back one day on a scuba tour👍
wow..super beautiful..different kinds of species or fish..like in tubbataha reefs..also in parts of mindanao..your the second vlogger doing diving in underwater. that i can watching..
Watching you from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
Very relaxing video, I like, good job👏👏👏
loved snorkeling with the turtles their on apo island especially red horse on the beach
I enjoyed the voice over. Made the video very clear to understand. 👍
Amazing down under footage 👌 👏 🙌
I love your diving vlog, APO reefs is beautiful, I am so jealous, one day, I could visit the place and do scuba diving with my family, “GOD”bless you
Beautiful video 😊😊
It's long time I haven't seen you're vlog just now brother 😊
My favorite snack caramelized sweet potato with coke or mountain dew a great combination.perhaps the iced cold soda with its spirit bursting in your throat complement well that even the tang of the ice tea could not do.
AMAZING footages.
awesome production!
Beautiful place
nice - very entertaining
It’s different species of fish in that island..
Nice coral it’s lively and this is the home of fish ..
I've been there. I much prefer Pescador Island. But when it comes to "real pandora" I would say that would be Tubataha.
Hi where is pescador island
Try to go in Bohol it’s good diving as well and some places in the Philippines
good job bro..👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿..
Hi. did you notice at 2:07 it looks like there's a face hiding under the corals? It looks creepy!
😧
I miss my home town Negros oriental.
Magnus, I am super jealous of you, but any way, thank you for sharing this beautiful diving experience, “GOD” bless you always
Negros a sock shape island the gateway to Tubbattaha reef, southern part of the island is still raw that connects to the reef, have fun and adventures
Awesome!!
Nice! Which camera did you use?
I mostly used the GoPro Hero 11 with the Backscatter FLIP filters
Video is rendered in 1080p? Is your gopro from this decade? Great video but a lot of detail on the reef is missing 😅
Hi! Video is rendered in 1080 because my mirrorless only shoots 60fps in 1080. I do agree alot of detail is lost but that is rather caused by the lower light environment further down which is worsened by the filters I used. Nonetheless, the drop in detail is offset by much better colour contrast and much easier time editing the footage.
I may just get the DJI Osmo with the white balance sensor which I’ve seen yield great results! 😃
@@magnusferdinand I've heard good things about that one. I've got the hero 10 black, check my shorts, there's a good video of a ray I shot with it.
I'll be there
From dauin ❤❤❤
Been there... ❤❤❤
Nice
Is it nicer than bohol?
Hiiii, I would like to ask if you're still here in Dauin?
See you soon Apo Reef 🪸🪸🪸
Wondering if u met Finn snow in dauin😁
I’d love to, he and Kulas influenced me to start my UA-cam channel!
hope to see Magniko in Obando and DRT, Bulacan. This may is the fertility dance in Obando, Bulacan.
Obando looks very interesting! I’ve had in mind to visit there someday
❤❤❤
That was really amazing nature of the sea but now go see TUBBATAHA dive site comparison to world unesco protected site in the Philippines someone says its the next level dive spot to number one and only in the world.
We really wanna visit Tubbataha reef! But it’s very expensive and I also want to have an underwater housing for my mirrorless camera first so I can take very nice pictures and footage!
I've been to Tubbataha; the coral at Apo Island is at least as beautiful and in my humble opinion MORE beautiful...it definitely has more fish and critters. It is also cheaper and easier to get to. I will be returning for a repeat visit in 2024.
In my experience, Tubbataha is the best and ultimate scuba diving place in the Philippines, but I think the Republic of Palau scuba diving is better than Tubbataha.
Hi I dived at Komodo national park in Indonesia before. Can suggest where is a good place to dive in Philippines to me? I can’t dive at tubbataha yet cos too ex and not qualified enough
Where was better for diving malpascua or dauin
They are a bit different. Malapascua is more on sharks in my opinion. It’s not just thresher sharks there, I heard there’s also a huge bullshark lurking around there 😃
@@magnusferdinand thanks we only have time for one. A friend from the Philippines told is dauin but we've been told by other divers Malapscua.
do you need to have advance diving license to dive here?
We dove with OWD there , and we rarely went below 18m 🙂
Wow nice VO haha
Dude, Indonesia is far better than PH overall, and Apo has no fish left. Tubataha is really the only world class place the PH has left. I know coz I been to them all.
Ohh really??
Then why is the Philippines voted for years as the best diving destination?
Did we just watch a different video? Apo had no fish left? This was literally uploaded a few days ago and those thousands of fish on that video were just CGI? Wow! 😆
Indonesia and Philippines, both are in the coral triangle. Ask regular, non-Scuba diving people to mention as many great and very well known diving areas around the world as they can, and for sure the average of all the good acceptable answers can be counted on just your one hand.
Question: So Philippines often gets voted to the top for diving destinations around the world. BUT, gets voted by who? And do they even have the proper qualifications or professional knowledge so us ordinary people can rest asured that the winning votes were cast by the best qualified, and is most trustworthy. Simple answer: They are some of a few number of people who go and enjoy Scuba diving.
So if you're one who can only name one great diving place in Philippines which happens to be the most well known around the world, then your knowledge and opinions on anything about Scuba diving would seem to be more unreliable than mine, a person who can't swim, and especially if you can't name at least 1 or 2 great and well known dive sites in Indonesia without Googling.
