Summer Boracay Dive Trip!
Join us from 22 - 28 August 2025!
Pinnacle Diving Company and Wicked Squid Divers invite YOU to join us during Golden Week in a tropical paradise dive trip to Boracay, Philippines from the 22nd to the 28th of August, 2025!
Hosted by Wicked Squid Divers, Boracay’s BEST dive operation, you will enjoy world class diving including wrecks, coral reefs, and even dramatic shelf drop-offs, filled with sea life, in pristine warm, clear waters!
Complete dive gear will be readily available for all upon arrival, so you can travel light if you want, and all types of diving are possible, from Rec to Tec. For those who have their own dive gear and choose to bring it, that’s ok too!
When you’re not in the water, your group will spend 6 days and 5 nights in beach-front accommodations with an amazing view. Additionally, activities are available for everyone, even non-divers, and both the beach and night life are the perfect way to unwind after dives.
Additionally, we will have a day trip scheduled to the Malumpati Cold Springs at the end to give the whole group a day to unwind, decompress, and relax. You can enjoy a float trip down the river, jump from a high dive platform, and we'll even have BBQ ready to go for lunch.
Escape the hustle, crowds of Japan for a week of beautiful beaches, amazing diving, great food, relaxation, and a time you’ll never forget.
TRAVEL NOTICE:
Flights should be booked to Caticlan Airport (MPH), which usually results in an overnight layover in Manila (MNL). If you fly into Manila the day prior, it is highly likely your connecting flight to MPH will not be until early the next morning. Expect to arrive at MPH on the morning of the first scheduled day. Further details for pickup arrangements will be emailed to group participants.

F.A.Q's for Dive Trips
How do I register for a trip?
To register for any trip with PDC (or to inquire about creating your own trip for a group), simply fill out the form above on this page. Please list the name and dates of the trip you desire to join, list your full legal name, age, any equipment rental needs (or tell us if you plan to bring your own), and provide us with a detailed message as applicable.
Can't I just message you via social media to register?
Unfortunately no. We do not accept reservations for any of our scheduled trips via social media. To register for any of our listed trips, you must fill out and submit the form above.
Can I pay by cash or credit card?
Cash is only acceptable for trips within the local area (Tokyo, Kanagawa, Shizuoka, Yamanashi) during normal fun-diving weekends, when reservations can be made locally. For any and all trips that require travel to a destination--both across Japan and internationally--payment in advance is required. Both credit and debit card payments may be made easily online via an online invoice sent to your email address from PDC (JDE) through Square. Additionally, bank transfers are possible for payment too.
What are the deadlines for registration?
Unless otherwise noted, mentioned in a post, or arrangements have been made with us by direct or email communication, deadlines for reservations to join in on any listed trip are typically no less than 60 days prior. However, the sooner the better!
I want to join, but I can't pay until sometime after the deadline, what do I do?
Please contact us and let us know you desire to join but need to pay at a date after the deadline. We're very reasonable and understanding when it comes to individual needs. In many cases, we can work something out to help you reserve your seat for a trip, and pay on a later date when you're able.
I am not a diver, can I still join?
Almost every trip welcomes non-divers to join. If you would like to come with us, but are not a diver and will not be diving, please contact us and let us know! We can offer you a discounted price that does not include the diving part of the trip.
I have family / friends who would like to join, is this possible?
Absolutely! All trips are family friendly, and the more friends the better!
I'd like to join one of your trips, but I'm not a diver yet. Can I get certified before the trip?
Everything depends. Where are you located? What time of year is it currently? When is the trip? Where is the trip going to? What are YOUR needs? Are we able to conduct the full course prior, or part of it prior and the remainder while at the destination? These are all important questions, and PDC is 100% willing to help you answer them. Please communicate with us your interests and needs, and we'll do our best to help.
I'd like to do other activities while on a trip, is this possible?
Many trips go to locations where lots of other activities are offered. From snorkeling to surfing, local tours and treks, sight seeing and cuisine, even parasailing, kayaking, excursions, and more... If there are other activities possible at the destinations we visit, then we strongly encourage you to let us know what your interests are. Please remember, however, these are not included in the trip costs, and will be at your own expense.
