Freediving with sharks in the Philippines
About this list
If you want to go freediving with sharks in the Philippines, the useful question is not whether the sharks are there but who will take you to them that way. Maptlantis lists only the 3 operators in the Philippines that name the shark as a target species and actually run freediving. 2 of the 3 operators (67%) publish prices on their own channels, so you can compare those directly; ask the rest. Estimated prices are not shown. Most operators list year-round operation, but whether boats go out depends on the sea on the day. Operators with structured encounter data list whale shark, thresher shark, sardine run, coral and sea turtle as target species. Ways to meet them: snorkeling and scuba diving. Whether you may enter the water and what distance rules apply differ by country and operator. Check the program details and legal status on each operator page first.
