This training was terrific!!
My partner has a deep fear of water after an incident as a young child. The training yesterday with our instructor Bernie was very helpful and encouraging with a lot of patience to work slowly with my partner. I was so impressed with the knowledge transfer and the professionalism that this company exhibited to us. If I could stay longer I would get my PADI certification here!!! Do not have any doubts about getting a great value and a tremendous experience here!!! Thanks for everything Bernie!!
Operator response
Thank you so much for this heartfelt review. We're incredibly touched that you shared such a personal experience with us.
We know that overcoming a fear of water isn't easy, and we're so proud of your partner for taking that step—and so glad Bernie's patience and encouragement made the training feel safe and supportive. That kind of trust between instructor and student is something we truly value, and we'll be sure to pass along your kind words to Bernie personally.
It also means a lot to hear that despite the emotional side of the day, you still felt the professionalism and value we aim to deliver. We'd love to welcome you both back one day so you can continue toward that PADI certification—we'll be ready whenever you are!
Thank you again for trusting us with such an important moment.

Very good diving school
Spacious diving school in the beautiful garden of the beautiful Shangri-la hotel. The swimming pool is good too practice the first schills. I'm happy the instructor eas from Europe because I had bad experiences with diving schools in the Philippines that didn't understand me. I told them I didn't dive long time and wanted to practice the basic skills in the swimming pool and undeep sea and they didn't understand me. Today was great and I'll come back here again soon.

Great first time experience
Great tour, guide/trainer was very good, ensured I was safe and checked in regularly. Would Reccomend if staying in Cebu, just remeber you can’t fly within 24 hours. Skip the lunch option, better to get your own.
