Philippine Fun Divers is a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Resort at the center of Alona Beach in Panglao, Bohol, operating since February 2008. The center is co-located with Lost Horizon Beach Dive Resort (57 rooms) — accommodation can be arranged directly through the dive center. Owner Holger Horn is a PADI Master Instructor who runs IDC programs at least four times a year.
The operation is structured around a fixed daily schedule. Equipment is staged from 8AM, divers gather 8:15–8:30AM, and boats depart on time. All boats carry 100% O2, a stretcher, fire extinguisher, handheld radio, and life rings.
Philippine Fun Divers covers the complete PADI pathway from Bubble Maker through IDC. Seven teaching languages makes it one of the most multilingual centers in Panglao.
The 4-boat fleet covers 21 named dive sites around Panglao. Balicasag Island access is managed through the Advance Reservation System — early booking is essential since permits are limited to 300 dives per day island-wide.
