Mike’s Dauin Beach Family Resort – Adventure Dive – Dumaguete Negros
The top place to stay for people with kids is Mike’s resort on the beach in Dauin. It’s only 15 kilometers from the hustle and bustle of downtown Dumaguete but it seems like a different world.
Mike and Joan and the kids give the resort a vibe that is not found at most dive resorts. They eat at a long table with the guests and the location on the sea is perfect.

Booking can be arranged through the Adventure Dive shop at Bogarts next to Happy Fred’s on the main street along the waterfront too.
In the morning, Mike makes a run into town to pick up divers that are staying in Dumaguete. The resort also picks up their guests from the airport.
This is a small place with great service.
Visitors comments and reviews are welcome below.
The amazing thing about Mike is that you can’t get away without getting entertained by yet another story about life in the Philippines.

The dive boat story …
One choppy morning the crew woke up to find that the dive boat had gone missing. Whoa! What happened?
The theory was that the mooring line to the concrete block on the ocean floor had worn through and the boat was adrift. Some suspected that thieves had made off with the boat!
The word was put out to all the fishermen to keep a sharp eye out for it. Lo and behold some fishermen found it 13 days later adrift near Tawi Tawi. That’s about 300 miles distant on the way to Borneo.
The boat had broken free of it’s mooring and drifted around the southern end of Negros and the entire island of Mindanao. Wow!

Hey, really enjoy your site, just thought I’d let you know it has been a great read. The story about the obat floating away is classic, lol.
Thanks,
Rich
The boat looks great, but what impresses me the most is the resort. It is super comfortable and in a great location. Even non-divers would enjoy lounging around the pool or on the beach.
Mike’s place is more family oriented than the corporate dive resorts which gives it a unique niche in the marketplace.
cheers

how much is the entrance?
how much is the food? and how much do we need to pay for using the pool.?
From the management – Hi Karen Entrance is 150 pesos, it is consumable
Hi Karen,
I think that the pool and restaurant are intended for the guests staying there.
The reason that I call it a family resort is that it is a very kid friendly place.

Hi Mike
I was wondering what it would cost to stay at your place for a couple of months or so,i am currently in Penang but intend arriveing around 16/18 July.I am not a diver but i love the pool and the comments, yours Miky
Hi Mike,
It’s so nice to discover this page about your resort and family, the picture of you with 2 kids is so sweet !
I am wondering whether you could give divemaster’s training or not in your resort?
In fact, I’m looking for a place where I can get DM training and my 6 years old boy can play aside as well … you know that I am a chinese rescue diver and, I heard that many chinese divers are talking about you with great joy !
Hope that your wonderful resort is right one for myself and my sweety son !
Please write to me, thank you very much !

I think that you would enjoy diving with Mike but I do not know what programs he offers. This resort is a very nice place to stay and the staff is most helpful.
Scuba diving or snorkeling off nearby Apo Island is very very nice ! I find the clown fish sanctuary to be amazing and there are other great dives on all sides of the island.
Diving with Mike would be an experience that would be hard to forget. He is really a happy guy : ) Not sure if he offers a divemaster program but your 6 year old boy would likely have a good time at this resort.
cheers

wow place…I would like to visit there soon. Thanks
Hi Mike, my family just arrived from Europe and wanted to spend a good time in the Philippines. i was wondering if we can go to your place in just for one day and do scuba diving but not really staying in your place? would that be possible?..please i need a reply.. thank you :)
Hello Ann,
Mike’s Dauin Beach and Family Resort is about 12 kilometers from Dumaguete. They usually will take out local scuba divers and others that were staying at hotels in Dumaguete City to Apo Island for day trips to scuba dive or snorkel.
Mike would pick up the divers and transport them to Dauin where his dive boat leaves to Apo Island. The “dutchpickle” website does not actually make reservations for the Dauin Family Resort but Mike and crew should be able to work out a good arrangement with you. He is such a cool guy that I think you would enjoy diving with him.
Please contact them directly for more complete information.
I think that you will have a great adventure ahead!
