Boracay Island Sports and Activities

Boracay Island Sports

Boracay scuba diving

Boracay is a magnificent national marine preserve and one of the most popular Philippine dive areas in Southeast Asia
with currently thirty state-of-the-art Boracay dive schools offering the entire range of Philippine scuba diving activities
from basic demonstrations through to advanced level certifications. Boracay is a great Philippine scuba diving holiday
location, simply because it combines a wide range of Philippine dive tour activities with one of the best beaches in the
world plus the numerous good quality resorts, restaurants, bars and night time events.

On surveying the various languages offered by the dive schools centred around Nigi Nigi's Boracay Beach Resort on White Beach we find dive services and instruction in English, French, Hebrew, German, Korean, Japanese, Italian, Spanish and Swedish. For safety reasons it is preferable for beginners to receive instruction in their mother tongue. If you require detailed information about Boracay scuba diving courses conducted in a language other than English, let Nigi Nigi select the most suitable dive school for you.

In order for non-divers to experience the wonders of the underwater world most schools offer short P.A.D.I. Discover
Scuba Diving Introductory plus Beginner's Open Water Courses. White Beach, with its warm tranquil waters and gentle
sandy slope, is the ideal place for those first training sessions followed by shallow yet exhilarating dives to the local coral
reefs, where the student can enjoy the vast richness of tropical reef life, while still training within a calm protected environment.

The Discover Scuba Diving program is purely an introductory course completed within one day, with intro-lectures, video, shallow water equipment demonstration followed by the first chaperoned dive. For beginners wishing to proceed to the
first level P.A.D.I. certification, all schools offer 4 day Open Water Courses (O.W.), which is the most recognized
international certification. The O.W. course includes thorough equipment familiarization and basic scuba diving techniques
and includes extensive lectures and three to four adventurous dives designed to progressively increase the skill level of
the student. For those wishing to upgrade their P.A.D.I. certification level the Boracay scuba diving schools
offer the full range of P.A.D.I. courses from Advanced level to Instructor training programs.

For certified divers Boracay and its surroundings offer a wide variety of dive excursions including spectacular coral
gardens, deep wall drop-offs, drift and night dives. With a well planned dive schedule a qualified diver can complete up to
four exciting dives a day. To expand your diving enjoyment many Boracay scuba diving schools offer overnight dive
safaris to the surrounding islands, each with unique underwater treasures making Boracay Island a premier center for Philippine scuba diving and a great Philippine vacation.

Prices among the dive schools vary only marginally and the following are typical.

Course prices include complete gear rental, air fills, lectures, video, boat, administrative fees and taxes plus official
P.A.D.I. certification. All prices are subject to 12% V.A.T.

Boracay Mountain Biking

Boracay is extremely scenic, with many challenging and varied routes around the island, some 25 kilometres long. Most
of the routes are on loose dirt roads and steep climbs up to lookout points that give spectacular views across clear, blue waters to the distant islands. Then a steep drop down along single track paths through thick vegetation and native villages
to another deserted beach. Cycling along these beaches at low tide is an exhilarating experience and then finally back
through the coconut groves to the main beach. Rides may end with a long cool swim in the ocean. This certainly adds a
new dimension to your Philippine vacation.

Bike rentals are available at US $ 2.00 per hour or US $ 12.00 per day. For the serious biker we suggest that you bring
your own bicycle. If it comes as extra baggage from Manila to Caticlan, the cost is minimal. For longer two or three day
trips the Nigi Nigi boat will take you to Caticlan on the island of Panay where the opportunities for adventurous cycling are unlimited.

Boracay Windsurfing

Boracay is one of the best windsurfing locations in the Philippines. The winds blow fairly consistently all year but, of course, stronger during the rainy season.

The Boracay Challenge Cup is held in the third week of January each year. It is also ideal for beginners because the first 600 metres out from the beach is only 1.5 metres deep and protected by a coral reef resulting in flat waters. There are a number of establishments renting top quality equipment with a good selection of board and sail sizes. Average costs are below.
