Oasis Beach & Dive Resort occupies the center of Alona Beach on Panglao Island, with Seaquest Dive Center operating directly from the property. Seaquest Bohol holds PADI 5 Star IDC Resort status and has been running from Alona Beach since 1990 — one of the first dive operations in the area.
The resort’s design draws on local structures and tropical vegetation, creating a garden setting that contrasts with the beachfront’s commercial strip just steps away.
The property sits within a tropical garden that connects directly to the dive center and the beach.
The central Alona position means everything — restaurants, bars, tour operators, ATMs — is within a few minutes’ walk.
Seaquest operates 6 boats from Alona Beach with over 30 years of local site knowledge. Their veteran divemasters explored many of the area’s now-famous sites — some still carry names given by the original Seaquest crew.
The front patio of the dive center connects to the beach — gear up, walk across the sand, and board the boat.

Morning boat dives reach Balicasag Island (45 min) or stay local on Panglao’s fringing reefs. Surface intervals between dives happen on the boat or back at the center. Afternoon dives cover a second site before return.
Post-dive, the resort restaurant serves meals in the garden while Alona’s strip fills with evening options — from Filipino grills to Italian and Japanese restaurants.
Professional-track students (Divemaster, IDC) are a regular presence at Seaquest, adding a training-community atmosphere to the dive center’s daily rhythm.
Divers who want a PADI 5 Star IDC operation with 30+ years of Panglao site knowledge and direct Alona Beach access. Works well for aspiring dive professionals seeking Divemaster or Instructor courses with experienced Course Directors.
Most appreciated by guests who value dive center credentials, multilingual instruction, and the convenience of Alona’s central location for both diving and nightlife.
