Had a great couple of days diving with this operation. The dive masters are very professional and safety focused. They’re very knowledgeable about the area, and got us out to the wrecks before any other dive boats. This made for a more intimate experience, and ensure that the silt/sediment wasn’t all stirred up by other divers. They also are respectful of the marine life which is always a plus.

Good guides, felt save. Equipment was fine. Well Organizer the day before (equipment check) and ensuring your experience level (at other places they didn’t even check my PADI. Certification). The boat is nice and big with a lot of space to chill. The food is good. No stress during the dives. Only 6 divers in the boat.
Was due to start my PADI open water course here but unfortunately it didn’t go ahead due to a typhoon. The day before I met B who spent hours with me going over some of the technical information and theory (to make sure I had retained my e learning). She happily volunteered her time despite knowing there was a high chance that the next few days of diving would be cancelled anyway. B was friendly professional and a great teacher - I have no doubt that if I had managed to do the course here that it would have been brilliant. If you are looking for a place to learn to dive with friendly and trustworthy people then this is your place!
Go for it! Great crew, amazing diving boat (lot of space, fast and very conformable). The dive masters are good and take care of you, recommended for entry levels or people with some initial experience with AOWD (or equivalent) certificates. I’m not getting them 5 since they focus seems to focus on easy and fast dives for as many people as it make sense (or maybe we were just unlucky, can’t tell for sure), we were really hoping for something a bit more challenging but didn’t had much luck while diving 6 times with them. To be fair, I was able to stretch two long dives from my dive master, 76 and 83 mins on a single air tank, which get me the chance to enjoy the marine life in solitude when the remaining AOWD surfaced after 45 mins or so. (Btw: 50 bar left in the cylinder and a quite shallow dive, so nothing risky here).
My partner and I enjoyed a 3 dive day here, 2 wrecks and Barracuda Lake. The locations are great and the boat was very nice! I'm fairly new to diving so don't have my own kit or anything - just felt like when we were finished, it was a bit of a rush and we were just told how long our dives had been and that they were all 18 metres. We were relying on the dive master's computer, and since my spg didn't work all day I couldn't be sure how deep we'd gone. Anyway, it was a good day, just not quite a 5 star day in my book.
Enjoyed the team and food immensely, were very friendly and helpful. Very attentive to people’s need. Always with a smile, the equipment was excellent and new. The dives themselves were quite disappointing because of the visibility, not there fault but part of the experience.
B and Maxime were awesome accommodating not only our private dives but even arranging a boat to island hop the day before. We got all the gear measured up the evening before and were able to leave the next morning at 730am. Most of us weren’t certified and we all could use the refresher, so we basically followed the discover dive plan with 3 12m dives. Got to see two wrecks and one sweet reef with some sea turtles hiding out in it! Because we left early and had a private boat we were the only divers at all three locations which was awesome! As we were going with a divers group our diving time was about 45mins as some were getting close to 50 bar whereas others had 120 bar left, but it was enough time to wipe us novice divers out for the rest of the day! The 3 dives set you back 5000pisos being non certified and 3500 when certified, we paid an additional 3000pisos for a private boat which is a small amount when split with a group for having the boat and possibly the diving locations to yourself. Ps. Includes some killer fried chicken for lunch, and Albert is the GOAT!
Good dives, equipment was good, great divemaster Alvir!
