The ocean already has enough problems going into it each and every day, so as a dive team, we at Silver Reef Dive Resort make every dive into a clean up dive. By getting into this habit, we as instructors for Scuba Schools International hope that our students follow our example and make the ocean a little bit cleaner every time we go into the water.
We’ve picked up a myriad of ocean trash during our thousands of dives ranging from bits of plastic, to sacks, to shoes, diapers and napkins, and sometimes we get reports of discarded fishing gear.
With our extensive collective experiences, including technical overhead diving in Arctic waters, we are capable of extracting huge swaths of nets and hundreds of metres of fishing line. On the left is a video of a net recovery we did in our house reef where we have resident Green and Hawksbill turles amongst a plethora of other marine life.
This is the core value of our dive team. Every dive for us is a clean up dive, where we pick up garbage or clean up ghost fishing gear. We will also teach you some simple techniques in how to rescue coral, at no extra cost. Our dive pros are all passionate about the ocean, so come join us!
Our technical dive facility is fully equipped to support both mixed gas open circuit divers and rebreather enthusiasts. Whether you’re diving with normoxic or hypoxic blends, we provide the precise gas mixes you need. Rebreather divers can count on a steady supply of sofnolime and diluent tanks ensuring a seamless and safe technical dive experience.
At Silver Reef Dive Resort, we offer a full spectrum of SSI-certified diving courses—from introductory scuba experiences to Open Water certification, all the way up to professional Instructor-level training.
Courses are available in English and Tagalog, and with advance notice, we’re happy to arrange instruction in other languages to suit your needs.
