About this tour

Always wanted to walk along the seabed and meet the fish, but nervous about scuba gear or not a strong swimmer? Boracay's helmet diving is built exactly for you. The experience begins with a short, exciting speedboat ride from White Beach out to a shallow dive site, where a certified instructor fits you with an air-pumped diving helmet. The helmet sits over your head and shoulders, keeping your face completely dry and letting you breathe normally, even if you wear glasses, so there is no need to swim or hold your breath.

You descend a ladder into the water and the instructor guides you step by step across the ocean floor, where colourful reef fish swim right up to you and corals spread out within arm's reach. The underwater walk lasts around 15 to 20 minutes, while the full outing runs about an hour with the boat ride and briefing included. Because the helmet keeps you breathing as easily as on land, the activity is accessible to non-swimmers and first-timers, and souvenir photos and videos are captured so you can relive the moment.

It is the most beginner-friendly way to experience Boracay's underwater world, a genuine taste of the deep without any of the certification or stress of full scuba diving.

About the area

Boracay, off the coast of Panay in Aklan province, is the Philippines' most celebrated island, famous for the powdery white sand of its four-kilometre White Beach. Beyond sunbathing, its calm, clear waters host a full menu of watersports, from helmet diving and parasailing to island hopping and paraw sailing. The island's compact size means dive sites and activity boats are only minutes from the main beach stations.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know how to swim?
No. The weighted helmet keeps you upright on the seabed and you breathe normally, so non-swimmers can do it comfortably.
How long am I underwater?
The actual underwater walk lasts about 15 to 20 minutes, with the full experience running around an hour including the boat ride and briefing.
Can I wear glasses or contacts?
Yes. Your face stays completely dry inside the helmet, so glasses and contacts are no problem.
