About Oasis Resort Bohol

The charming Oasis Dive Resort is located on a long stretch of white sand known as Alona Beach, on Panglao’s southern coast. Set back from the beach amidst gardens teeming with flowers, tropical plants and shady trees, the resort is a true oasis of peace and tranquillity. A lot of effort has been put into creating a natural looking environment that enhances that peaceful tropical holiday feeling. The design of this boutique resort was inspired by local culture, native structures and nature itself, and construction was carefully carried out in order to preserve the natural beauty of its tropical environment.

Since its creation in the year 2000, Oasis Dive Resort has slowly and carefully expanded, naturally taking shape into the PADi 5-Star dive resort it is today. A series of major recent renovations have seen modifications made to the restaurant and additional accommodation options being added. These recent refurbishments have also extended elsewhere throughout the resort, with some worthwhile updates being made to the dive centre, including the addition of an onsite dive training pool.

Diving from Oasis Resort

The resort’s onsite PADI 5-Star Instructor Development Centre is run by the highly-reputable Seaquest, one of the longest-established scuba diving operators in the Visayas. The first Seaquest operation opened at Panagsama Beach in 1981 in Moalboal, followed by the second in 1990 here at Alona Beach, making it one of the first dive centres in the area. In fact, some of Alona’s local dive sites are named after veteran Seaquest divemaster who first discovered the now well-known sites.

Seaquest has years of experience and continues to strive towards creating first-class dive experiences within the Philippines. Three large bangkas and two brand new speedboats are on hand to offer up to four dives every day, including night dives. Seaquest decides on its diving schedule one day in advance, offering a good variety of dives sites and keeping guests’ personal preferences in mind. The divemaster team are all locals, and some have been working for Seaquest for more than 25-years! Besides the local divemasters, Seaquest also boasts an international team of instructors that are able to offer a full spectrum of PADI dive courses. Cressie rental equipment is available, and all gear will be loaded onto the boats by staff each morning - so all guests have to worry about is arriving on time.
