Founded in 2014, Dumagat Freedive is a locally owned and operated freediving center in the Philippines. Formerly located in Romblon, now in Dauin in the province of Negros Oriental. Our instructor, Emil, is an experienced SSI, RAID and AIDA accredited freediving instructor. Truly passionate about sharing freediving, he personalizes every course the best he can. We believe that freediving should be easier and more fun. With access to depth within swimming distance, we can spend more time freediving and also have more time for fun instead of spending a great deal of time boating or even traveling from the shop to the dive site. We provide personalized freediving education using SSI’s world-class training methods, materials and standards in a relaxed environment. Come take your new freediving adventure with us!

You have to walk through cemented and iron stairs and its very steep, 300 steps. Then afterwards, a very light rocky path. After a 30-45 mins you'll see this beauty. Splashing cold water. Majestic ! Entrance : P10.00 You have to hire a habal (motorcycle ) to come here. In our case we hired habal to tour us around. Rony- Dumaguete Tour 09654850817 Kindly take note to ask discount, in our case 2 pax we priced at first for P2,500.00 and ended P2k. So basically 1k each.

Chris guides this trek for 18yrs. very fit guy. knows the route inside out and the villagers along the trek. lots of knowledge. we chat everything under the sun. he is not pushy, followed my pace and gave me time for pictures. 2 routes available: route 1 (loop): start at casaroro falls entrance, twin falls, kaipohan sulphur vents, lake nailig, summit, back to lake nailig, lake yagumyum, sulphur vents, return to entrance of casaroro falls. route 2 (transverse): start at casaroro falls entrance, twin falls, kaipohan sulphur vents, lake nailig, summit, back to lake nailig, lake yagumyum, end at bidiao at dauin which is also at dauin geothermal exploration project. trek from casaroro falls to summit is 10km. from summit to bidiao is 7km. althou the 7km seems shorter, it is not easy getting down as most of the rocks were covered with green moss and slippery tree roots. trek is usually done in 2days where you camp at lake nailig. the temp at the lake can dip to 10degrees or lower. not wanting to subject myself to torture and bringing additional load, i opt for route 2, day hike, 2L water, packed lunch, wore a tshirt and shorts, trek shoes with good tracksion, good socks!, started at 6am. bring plaster in case of blisters or paste it over toes beforehand. wear long pants n long sleeves if you are afraid of getting cuts by tall grass or plants. there is no mosquito and buys but alot of spider webs. took me 4hrs from start to summit and 4hrs from summit to bidiao. i am a avid trekker, fit and my pace was fast with rest points while taking pics along the trek, the summit and a 15mins lunch. trekking permit is required for the trek and the route can be confusing for many as there were many routes on the mountain without signages. glad i hired a guide! if you are trekking this for the first time, start early and expect double the time required. the steps up are very high and requires you holding to the roots to pull urself up and some crawling on all fours to squeeze your way under fallen trees. His rates as of Feb 2019 (guide ratio 1:3): overnight trek p750/day (the guest bring food for themselves and for the guide. guest bring own camping equipments) p850/day (the guest pay the guide to bring his own food. guest bring own camping equipments) day trek p1500 (the guest bring food for themselves and for the guide) p1700 (the guest pay the guide to bring his own food) *note that if you select route 2, you have to pay for the guide transportation back to valencia town for p350 (habal habal hire) *note also you can rent camping equipments from chris at additional cost contact him via facebook messenger, glecerio chris d. gonzalez. there are other guides available and could be found on tripadvisor.
