Have you ever seen a Mimic Octopus? Masters of disguise who frequent our dive sites here in the Philippines.
Come dive with us and you might just be lucky enough to spot one!
The mimic octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus) is an Indo-Pacific species of octopus capable of impersonating other local species. They are notable for being able to change their skin color and texture in order to blend in with their environment, such as algae-encrusted rock and nearby coral through pigment sacs known as chromatophores. The mimic octopus possesses chromatophores as well as the unique behaviour of taking shape of various objects and animals. The mimic octopus is the only currently known marine animal to be able to mimic such a wide variety of animals. Many animals can imitate a different species to avoid or intimidate predators, but the mimic octopus is the only one that can imitate as diverse a range of forms in order to elude predators.

Welcome to the underwater world! We hope to see you again soon.
We regularly accommodate and provide activity programs for student groups from 10 to 50 students and accompanying teachers. Student can enjoy and benefit from the incredible scuba diving available here, as well as take part in social projects.
PADI courses including Discover Scuba, Scuba Diver, Open Water and Advanced Open Water courses, can all be part of your program.
Many student groups have a community service component to their stays, such as beach or ocean cleanups and assisting schools for the very poor by providing books and supplies, and will benefit from learning how students and teachers here practice organic farming methods.
Groups typically stay 5-7 days and enjoy the clean ocean water, beautiful beach and all the underwater treasures Puerto Galera has to offer.
Our staff will make you feel at home and you will soon become part of the family. As we like to say: Arrive as a guest, leave as a friend!
Please contact our friendly staff for more information about booking your student group trip
