Stay
Posted by Gilles at 12h58 Edit
You intend to discover the Philippines, you are a diver or want to make the most of your stay to become one, but you would like to think outside the box, avoid the tourist crowds and live an adventure in contact with the locals.
The Britania Divers dive center is definitely for you.
Located in Salvacion, an authentic small fishing village, the diving center, placed a little apart, on the land of the Pacific Malasugi Resort has its private beach.
We favor hospitality, authenticity, friendship. No strict program (excluding training), but a host of discoveries to experience alongside us.
Our team is entirely at your service and adapts to your pace: a snorkeling trip at sunrise, a dive on the wall, a barbecue on the Islands … it’s up to you, unless you like to be guided by Your host.
You will rarely find this experience in an agency, but it is reserved for a few “adventurers” who dare to take their diving bag and go on an adventure.
Become pioneers, discoverers, together let’s explore this vast still virgin underwater territory.
How to organize your trip to the Philippines:
- Determine your travel dates ( choose several )
- Contact us by email ron@britaniadivers.com to ask us about our availability and various information.

- Choose a flight that allows you to arrive in Manila during the day (with a return in the evening) for an overnight stay at the Hotel in Manila to rest from the trip and get used to the jet lag.
- Choose a domestic flight for the next morning Manila / Butuan with Cebu Pacific Airline
