We get asked this all the time, and the answer is "no".
You can come from any location to join us on any of our dive trips!
We know divers all over the world, many of them who were our students or dive buddies who moved away at some point, and we want everyone to be able to come together for some epic diving, no matter where they may be. We purposely do not include travel costs in our trips for exactly this reason, so that no matter where you are located, you can join us.
Therefore, even if you are not in Japan, please do not let that stop you from inquiring and signing up! You are most welcome, and we would love to have you with us. In fact, trips would be far more enjoyable with your company. :)
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 26th of April to the 1st of May, 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.

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.

Please communicate with us your interests and needs, and we'll do our best to help.
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.
