Emerald Green Diving Center is a Japanese-run PADI dive center on Bounty Beach in Malapascua, offering Japanese-language instruction and service for Japanese divers visiting the island. The center runs daily dive trips to Malapascua’s full range of sites alongside PADI certification courses.
Emerald Green has resident Japanese-speaking staff, making it one of the very few options in the Philippines for Japanese-language dive instruction outside of Sabang or Anilao.
PADI recreational courses run from Discover Scuba through Divemaster, with Japanese and English instruction.
Daily boat trips run to Kimud Shoal and Monad Shoal for thresher shark encounters, Gato Island, the Dona Marilyn wreck, and local reef sites around Malapascua.

Japanese divers who want Japanese-language instruction and familiar service throughout their Malapascua experience. One of the few options in the central Philippines for Japanese-language PADI certification. Divers who want a smaller, focused operation rather than one of the larger Malapascua centers.
Emerald Green runs from Bounty Beach with standard Malapascua departure times — early morning for thresher shark dives, afternoon for reef and wreck sites. Japanese-speaking guests can conduct all pre-dive communication, briefings, and post-dive debriefs in Japanese throughout their stay. The small team structure means regular guests often dive with the same guide across multiple days, building familiarity with their preferences and pace underwater.
Japanese instruction at a PADI dive center is extremely rare in the central Philippines — Emerald Green is one of the very few options outside of Sabang or Anilao for Japanese-speaking divers wanting native-language instruction. The center’s Bounty Beach location provides direct access to the full Malapascua dive circuit without ferry or additional transport during a dive stay.
Course bookings are best arranged in advance by email or Instagram direct message to confirm instructor availability and scheduling around the daily fun dive program.
