Overview

Genesis Divers is an SDI/TDI and PADI dive center at Alona Beach in Panglao, Bohol, based at Hayahay Resort on the Alona Beach strip. The center has been operating at this location for multiple years and handles the full SDI/PADI recreational pathway alongside accommodation at the attached Hayahay Resort. Genesis is one of the established names on Alona Beach with both fun dives and course training.

The center covers both recreational and TDI technical courses — uncommon for Alona Beach operators — making it suitable for divers pursuing extended range or decompression training alongside standard recreational diving.

Courses & Training

Genesis runs SDI recreational courses, PADI recreational courses, and TDI technical courses. The dual-agency approach gives students flexibility in certification pathway.

Guided Diving & Operations

Genesis runs daily dive trips to the Panglao reef system and Balicasag Island. Balicasag permits must be arranged through the Advance Reservation System — the center books these for guests. Local Alona house reef dives are also available.

  • Sites reached: Balicasag Island (jackfish schools, turtle sites, walls), Pamilacan Island, Panglao local sites, and Alona house reef.
  • Accommodation: Hayahay Resort rooms available — dive and stay packages can be arranged through the center.
