Feel more at home
In the water.

From your first breath-hold to your next training goal, we help you build the skills to feel calmer underwater, understand your limits and enjoy your dives more.

Pujada Bay, Philippines

WELCOME TO OCEAN BX

What stays with you
after the course.

Think of a dive that once felt rushed, then the first time it feels unhurried. You have time to notice how you move and enjoy being underwater. That’s the kind of progress we work towards.

​

We don’t rush depth. Small groups give your instructor time to see what’s getting in your way, help you try an adjustment and talk through what you felt.

01

Feel calmer before you dive

Learn how to prepare for a dive with your buddy and recognise when you’re ready to go.

02

Move with less effort

Get feedback on equalization and movement, then notice what helps your dive feel smoother.

03

Know how to keep practising

Take a clear focus into your next session with your buddy, with a better sense of your own limits.

OUR OPEN-WATER SETTING

Come dive with us

in Mati.

Our open-water sessions take place in Pujada Bay, on the southeastern coast of Mindanao. We plan the day around the conditions and the people in the water.

 

Leave a little time for Mati itself: the coast, a quiet morning in Dahican and the conversations between dives.
