Diving Danjugan

[prandyulo]

Will be going to Negros 2 weeks from now to dive with some geriatric divers ( I certified 2 of them 33 years ago and I'm a retired instructor already) in Danjugan Island courtesy of the founding head who happens to be a personal friend of mine. Will post photos here when I get back. Has anyone tried diving there before?

i know someone who dove there and came back with nice macro pics. is it a by invitation only kind of place or is there a resort on the island?

It's open to the public with strict environmental regulations. Visit their website:

DANJUGAN Island - A Marine Reserve and Wildlife Sanctuary

we used to dive the area for our regular dives in the 70's until it was purchased by an NGO in the 90's

Thanks for the web link to Danjugan Island. Seems like an undiscovered diving gem. Luckily, I have relatives in Negros so its something I would defintely consider exploring when I am back in that area. I wonder how the diving compares to Apo Island. Looking forward to reading your dive report.
