Silver Reef Dive Resort

Located in the heart of Dauin, just steps from a healthy shoreline and with easy access to Apo Island, Silver Reef Dive Resort is a standout destination for divers seeking sustainability without sacrificing comfort. I spent over a week diving with them, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish.

Built from repurposed shipping containers, the resort’s unique box concept delivers a one-of-a-kind stay. You’d never know you were sleeping in a container—each room is spacious, thoughtfully designed, and equipped to meet the needs of today’s dive traveler, offering above-average comfort and functionality.

The on-site restaurant serves a mix of local Filipino dishes and Western favorites, making it easy to find something you’ll love before and after a day of diving. Silver Reef also operates a full-service bakery, which churns out an impressive lineup of fresh breads, pastries, and other indulgent treats daily.

The dive shop is purpose-built, with ample space for gear storage, a dedicated camera room for underwater photographers and cinematographers, and classroom facilities for training. The resort features two pools: one freshwater, one saltwater—perfect for both relaxing and skill-building.

What really sets Silver Reef apart is the dive team. The guides are exceptional at spotting marine life, whether you’re a seasoned cinematographer, macro photographer, or a recreational diver eager to see something new. Their local knowledge and sharp eyes consistently turn every dive into a treasure hunt.

Silver Reef Dive Resort blends smart design, sustainable values, and top-tier diving access into a seamless experience that’s hard to beat. Whether you’re heading to Apo Island or hunting for critters along Dauin’s volcanic sand, this is a resort that truly gets what divers want.... Show More
