Excellent instructors. Highly recommend this amazing experience. First dive ever! Instructors help calm our nerves.

Highly Recommend!

Samantha_R, Nov 2023

I would do this again in a heartbeat and would absolutely recommend to friends & family! In fact, we went to lunch right after and met a fellow traveler and did recommend it!

Unfortunate experience.

Did not communicate the meeting location. Unclear text and verbal convos had us walking around for an hour. Indicated she would give us a full refund but then only gave us a partial refund.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Please note that Meeting Point and Meeting Instructions are clearly indicated in the online booking site complete with exact google map coordinates/link. The same information is automatically sent to you via digital voucher by the booking platform upon successful booking. Most, if not all of our customers are able to show up on time. In addition, our staff communicated instructions to get to the site and informed the instructor and boat crew of the delay. Our manager and Instructor searched the beach for you based on your information on your location, gave additional instructions to meet you half way down the beach from your hotel, and offered to wait longer until you are met on the beach. We would like to clarify that nobody promised a full refund which is our protocol. What we advise is to request for refund thru the booking platform afterwhich we will respond on the request. Our dive instructor and boat crew allocated 3 hours (extended by 1 more hour due to the expected delay in your arrival) of their day to deliver you the Discover Scuba Diving that you booked. These are 4 dive crew members, sets of dive gear and a boat reserved the whole morning to accommodate the booking. We hope you understand that normally we would not even give a refund, but anyway decided to give partial refund.

Unforgettable experience, a must do in Boracay.

What an amazing, beautiful, special experience shared with my son. They were so professional and concerned for our safety. I would only say they should provide underwater cameras for purchase or make sure you don’t forget yours.
