Overview

Last Frontier Dive is a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre and Green Fins-certified eco center at Maite, San Juan, Siquijor. The center sits between two marine sanctuaries — Maite and Tubod — with the Maite sanctuary as the house reef accessible directly from shore. Owner Kenji leads operations and is named repeatedly in reviews for his responsiveness, personalization, and ability to create genuinely different dives even within the same site. Instructors on the team include Pascal, Joel (Jose Miguel), Ken, Sara, Yeray, and Sai — with courses confirmed in English, Spanish, French, and Japanese.

Three boats serve the center. The maximum guide ratio is 4 divers per divemaster, with 2 for Discover Scuba sessions. Accommodation and food are available on-site. Last Frontier also offers Apo Island day trips.

Courses & Training

Last Frontier covers the full PADI recreational pathway with IDC-level instruction available through the resident Course Director. Courses run in English, Spanish, French, and Japanese — confirmed from multiple reviewer accounts.

Guided Diving & Operations

Best For

Divers learning in Spanish, French, or Japanese who want an IDC-level center — Last Frontier’s language range and instructor quality is the strongest multilingual option in Siquijor. Photographers and macro hunters who want a guide (Kenji) who personalizes dives to subjects encountered, not a fixed route. Divers returning to diving after a long break — reviewers with cold feet or gaps in certification consistently describe Sai and the team as skilled at rebuilding confidence.
