Meet the Team Behind Anda Scuba Diving
A small dive center built around Anda
We are Delphine & Hubert, french couple, traveler lovers and having a real passion for scuba diving for many years, we decided to give up everything in November 2015 to visit the Philippines, and more particularly Bohol island. We then browsed many famous dive sites in the Philippines. We have been lucky enough to embark on a cruise ship for 3 months to explore the prestigious reef of Tubbataha.
Eager to find the perfect place to lay our suitcases, we then returned to Bohol and dived in Anda. And there, it was a crush! Won over by the authenticity of the place and the quality of the incredibly beautiful reef, we were then convinced of Anda's potential. Still unknown to divers and tourists, this village brings together in our mind all the elements to settle there: an incredible underwater marine life full of surprises, unspoilt beaches and a pleasant climate all the year.
It was in November 2018 that our beautiful project was born in the very charming Island View Beachfront Resort. Anda Scuba Diving Center, designed for the comfort of divers, and nestled between the mountain and turquoise sea in a tropical garden, is a unique place that we would call paradise!
