Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a scuba diving certification to dive with the whale sharks in Oslob?
No. This tour is suitable for both certified and non-certified divers. First-time divers can join through an introductory scuba diving experience with a licensed dive instructor, while certified divers can enjoy a guided dive with the whale sharks.

What is the difference between scuba diving and snorkeling with the whale sharks?
Scuba diving allows you to observe the whale sharks underwater for a closer and more immersive experience, while snorkeling lets you view them from the surface. Scuba diving is ideal for travelers who want to spend more time underwater and enjoy a unique perspective of these gentle giants.

Is Tumalog Falls included after the scuba diving activity?
Yes. After your whale shark scuba diving experience, you'll visit the stunning Tumalog Falls, one of Oslob's most popular natural attractions. Here, you can relax, take photos, or enjoy the refreshing waterfall before heading back to Cebu City.

How deep is the whale shark scuba diving experience in Oslob?
The dive depth depends on sea conditions and the experience level of the participants, but introductory dives are conducted at shallow depths under the close supervision of professional dive instructors to ensure safety and comfort.

What should I bring for the Whale Shark Scuba Diving and Tumalog Falls tour?
Bring comfortable swimwear, a change of clothes, reef-safe sunscreen, a waterproof bag for your belongings, and an underwater camera if you'd like to capture your dive, you can also rent one from us or in Oslob, should you decide to get one. All essential scuba diving equipment is typically provided as part of the tour package, so you don't need to bring your own gear unless you prefer to use personal equipment.

What to Expect

After an early pickup and a light breakfast in Oslob, you’ll gear up (all equipment included) for a scuba dive alongside the whale sharks — a different experience from simply snorkeling. A stop at Tumalog Falls and included lunch round out the morning before the drive back.
