Fun Boat Dive for certified diver

Had an excellent experience with this boat diving and snorkeling shop in Cebu. From start to finish, everything felt well-organized and easy. The staff were professional, knowledgeable, and truly attentive—more than just guiding, they made sure every customer felt comfortable and confident in the water. The shop itself was clean and well-kept, which added to the overall sense of trust before even going out on the boat. Communication was clear, and the team handled everything smoothly, so you could focus on enjoying the dive or snorkeling rather than worrying about the details. What really stood out is that they’re one of the few dive shops in Cebu that offer boat diving. That made a big difference for me, since the experience felt more authentic and adventurous compared to shore-based options. Overall, great service, a comfortable atmosphere, and high-quality boat diving/snorkeling—highly recommended for anyone visiting Cebu who wants a reliable shop and an enjoyable day on the water.

Excellent day trip with 2 dives with Michael as Dive Instructor. We loved the passion, the professionalism, the kindness and smile of Michael and the full crew. Our friends joined me and my husband as snorkeling, we could book a private boat and we truly enjoyed very much the experience

Great experience. Michal the instructor was absolutely fabulous and we had a great dive. Absolutely recommend to go here for a fun dive!

I recently completed six dives over two days with Scotty’s Action Network, the dive shop at Shangri-La Mactan Resort in Cebu, and also earned my Nitrox (EANx) certification. My instructors, Freddy and Taba, along with Jonathan supporting on the boat, were simply outstanding. Their professionalism, deep knowledge of the region, commitment to safety, and genuine passion for marine conservation made every dive both safe and unforgettable. They were friendly, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease from start to finish. Whether you are new to diving or an experienced diver, I highly recommend reaching out to Freddy, Taba, and Jonathan if you’re diving in this region. They’ll make your experience truly exceptional.

Excellent hosting the dive with Alex and Emile for a great dive experience today. Special thanks to Marilyn for coordinating everything and getting us hot tea when we got back

We are staying at Shangri-La from 2025.5.2 to 2025.6, so we asked for a dive here, where there is a shop in the hotel. Nalusuan Island and Hilutungan Island on 3rd and diving around the hotel on 5th. It seems that Japanese instruments sometimes dive, but in my case both guides were English-only. As a resort diver, I am nervous at first every time, even if it is not in English, but I forgot when I saw a lot of fish. I was very satisfied that the couple and I were able to dive leisurely because it was a small group. On the 5th, we went to the point of one-on-one, friendly Zigmund and Kontiki with no other guests at the desired time. Whatever you asked me what I wanted to see, this or that request. As soon as the point came in, the Sardine Tornado! When you found me a frogfish, we both high-fived underwater! I was mesmerized again by the sardines, including the scorpionfish, rusty moray eels, warthogs and sea slugs. It seems that there are many points around the hotel, so I want to visit others. As you get older, it's hard to get on the ladder with all the equipment on your back, but it's very nice to be able to take everything off and give it to the captain before you get on the ship. (Of course, I think they'll do it in Japan if you ask, but I've never seen one.) Also, the shop is clean and easy to use with toilets and hot water showers, but Shangri-La guests can take a relaxing shower in their hotel room after finishing. You can go to the pool on the way or have a beer on the beach. We enjoyed diving at the resort. There are a number of Japanese staff, all of whom are friendly but not too polite. I would definitely recommend it. (I have a longer version on google by word of mouth.)

Good rental gear, excellent DMs and Instructors. Sensible, flexible and safe. Big thank you to Bernie my sons Advanced OW instructor and Floy, my youngest sons Junior OW instructor as well as Tere who has been dive master on our fun dives. The house reef is not in great condition but the wall and cave just offshore provided fantastic experiences for my boys who have loved their introduction to Philippines diving. We have more boat dives lined up so really looking forward to the rest of the week, loving the flexibility and allowance to dive how and where we prefer to.

I had 3 boat dive with Scotty's Action Sports Network lead by Bernie and Miki. I would strongly recommend to have the leisure dive with Scotty's. Reasons: 1. Bernie is a very very experienced Dive guide and Dive master. He is very patient and thoughtful.

Everything was so fun! I dived twice with my guide Sara. She is so kind and cute! Because it was my first dive in abroad, moreover I don’t speak English in fluent, so I was little bit nervous at first. She made me relax. She helped and told me not only about diving but also many kinds of things such as transportation and food. She took me to the “museum” in the sea. I especially love TALIMA MARINE SANCTUARY.

I booked from Beltra to participate. The receptionist is more accommodating than the Japanese, so even if you are not good at English, you can participate to some extent. However, it was a pity that there was no detailed explanation of how to find the day after reception and when to dive and rest. The dive is basically followed by an English instructor. Cebu was able to see so many species of fish while the ocean was so beautiful and diving for so long, and he was satisfied with 3 dives. If you are in Mactan Island, it is very easy because you can apply in advance and they will pick you up at the hotel for free.
