Is scuba diving part of your bucket list? If so, read on as I tell you all about the scuba diving lessons offered by one of the best dive centers in Cebu, Dive Spot Asia.

Just a couple of hours away from the city of Cebu and nestled within the Mangrove ECO Resort & Restaurant is Dive Spot Asia, a premier dive center where you experience scuba diving in Cebu at affordable rates. With their experienced, multi-lingual master divers available to train you, Dive Spot Asia is your gateway to discovering the beauty of the underwater world.

Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced diver looking to further your scuba diving training, Dive Spot Asia always has something to offer you. Basic theories in diving are taught either in a classroom or under a shaded area in the Dive Spot Asia grounds. Practical training then takes place in its very own dive reef and training spot. The dive reef is quite pretty, with plenty of beautiful corals and even a small wall. It’s just in front of the dive center, too. If the weather doesn’t permit practical lessons at their dive reef, a pool is also available.

Dive Spot Asia follows Scuba Schools International’s scuba diving standards and guidelines. Here is a list I’ve compiled of their available scuba diving lessons:
