Good to know
Check dive (required by law): every shark diver does a check dive the day before their first Kimud dive. This is waived only for Advanced (AOW) divers who can show proof of 50+ logged dives — so plan to arrive a day early.
Not included (paid locally in cash on site): marine park fees — Kimud ₱300/day, Malapascua ₱300/day, Monad ₱100/day.
*Temporary fuel surcharge due to fuel price increases in the Philippines; may change without notice.
Season: from Dec 1 — dives +₱200/dive, Open Water +₱1,000, Advanced ₱21,000, and 2027 transfer rates. Ocean Vida & Buena Vida room rates rise from Oct 1; Blanco from Dec 1.
Payment: deposit secures your dates, balance on arrival. Cards accepted with a 5% fee; GCash, bank transfer (BDO/Metrobank) and Wise have no added fee.
