Discover one of the popular freediving gems of Panglao, Bohol. With about 6 to 8 meters in depth, the airplane wreck is very accessible even for beginner freedivers. The easy accessibility, the shallow depth and vibrant colours result in the most amazing photos and videos imaginable.
We will meet up at the Freedive Academy. We’ll get you into your freediving gear and bring you to the location. Here are two options;
- We swim all together with buoys and floats from the beach at South Palms resort which is about a 10-minute swim.

Our accredited dive guides are very experienced freedivers themselves and will coach you on the best way to dive for the photos and videos.
