Overview

Boracay Sea World operates as a PADI Career Development Center — the highest level in the PADI system. Three Course Directors work on staff, running six regular IDC programs per year plus additional non-regular training courses.

Founded in 1995 and based at its current White Beach location since 1999, Sea World has built a multinational dive team of Korean, Chinese, English-speaking, and Russian instructors supported by over 20 Filipino staff.

Daily Experience

Course students start with theory in the air-conditioned classroom before moving to confined water sessions. Open water dives follow by boat to nearby sites. The schedule runs multiple courses simultaneously across different instructors and languages.

Fun divers join morning or afternoon boat trips depending on conditions and demand. Briefings happen at the dive center before each departure. Dive sites rotate based on conditions and group levels.

Between dives, the beachfront location puts guests on White Beach sand. Afternoon options include additional dives, walking to D’Mall, or relaxing at the on-site bar.

IDC candidates run intensive multi-day schedules with classroom, pool, and open water sessions filling each day. The three Course Directors allow staggered training blocks for different language groups.
