Casa Osmena is a private home and home to Nudibranch Divers. One of the most beautiful homes in Culion, Casa Osmena provides guest accommodation in four well-proportioned rooms, genuine community spirit that is increasingly becoming hard to find. For those who want to experience raw adventure, Casa Osmena can provide island hopping to stunning beaches, tours exploring Culion's fishing villages, countryside and historic allure with diving and snorkeling to otherworldly underwater seascapes.

I was born in Culion and met my husband Simon whilst working in the kitchens at a local dive resort. I moved with him Singapore and we spent a few years working hard and having kids and dreaming of building a home. We now have 2 beautiful children and a lovely house by the sea. I love to cook and take great care of my guests, Simon is a keen diver and lover of nudibranchs, the diving here is exceptional.

Culion is steeped in fascinating history, from indigenous tribes and leading Spanish settlement to its selection as a segregation colony for lepers. The town has many historic buildings which are listed on the UNESCO Memory of the World register. There are remnants of two Spanish forts, one of which became the foundation for the Church of the Immaculate Conception, the other lost to the jungle. Take a leisurely walk around the town, visit the museum and archives or try and find the Spanish fort in San Pedro. Island hopping trips are a great way to experience Culion and its many islands, the mangrove forests, reefs, bays and beaches. Hire the MV Nudibranch and have lunch on a beautiful white sandy beach, go snorkelling or visit the lakes and lagoons on Coron Island. Travelling round Culion Island can be challenging and is always a great adventure, most of the byways are tracks and pathways, hire motorbikes or the buggy and discover the rice fields, fishing villages and hidden beaches. We would recommend to take a guide to show you the way and keep safe. Diving in the Philippines is considered amongst the best in the world. The wrecks in Coron Bay are world famous in the diving community but the reefs around Culion remain largely unexplored.
