Stories from the Sea

My partner and I did four fun dives with sea explorers siquijor, and the experience was fantastic! The dive sites were absolutely stunning — we saw turtles and an incredible variety of coral and fish (too many to name!).
The dive center is brand new, and all the equipment is top quality and in perfect condition. Between dives, we were treated to tea and cookies on the boat, which was such a nice touch.
We dived with Johnny; he made us feel completely safe and at ease the whole time. He’s not only super professional but also just a genuinely kind and friendly person — we really felt taken care of.
Thanks so much for everything! We’ll definitely be back for more dives!

I did my AOWD and Nitrox course in this dive shop and I am absolutely thrilled! My Dive Instructor Nove designed the course perfectly – professional, educational and at the same time with just the right amount of humor. As a result, the course was not only effective, but also really fun.
Nove has been able to convey complex content in a comprehensible way, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Especially the dives with the Thresher Sharks as part of the “Shark Conservation” module were an unforgettable highlight! It was impressive to see these majestic animals up close, while learning so much about their protection.
I took an incredible amount with me and now I feel much safer and more experienced as a diver. Many thanks to Nove, also the boat crew is to be singled out, came out of the water and were immediately surprised with hot shower, water and snacks – I can highly recommend this diveshop!

It was amazing experience in Siquijor.
The instructor was professional and very friendly.
Also them equipment was new and trustworthy.
No worries about diving in Siquijor.
Thank you John and Ben!

We came to celebrate our 500th dives after started diving together 10 years ago. This place was amazing and can’t leave this place without leaving my review.
Excellent quality of service is guaranteed by great standardized processes and work sequences, clean and organized.
Dive schedules are well displayed by visual boards at a glance. We saw many amazing creatures which we have never seen before including the thresher shark and Mandarin fish.
I just became “sixty four” and no longer as strong as before. However all the staff members kindly helped me to do the great diving as strong as when I started 45 years ago. Now I feel I can dive 500 more if working with the people like here!!
If you have never visited Malapascua, I highly recommend this diving service.

Such a beautiful first experience. We did open water and advence water both with the best instructor ever. We learned a lot, laughed and loved each other for the time there hahaha. I highly recommand. Some people on the island would say it’s more expensive but I don’t think so and you get what you pay for. Diving is a thing, teaching is another.
Big up to Novi. Really patient and lovely man. His smile and kindness will brighten your day

Awesome!! Malapascua was a dream to dive and this dive centre didn’t disappoint one bit. The thresher sharks and kimud shoal are the highlight but we loved gato island and the day trip to Kalanggaman island too as well as the night dive. The sharks are amazing and we saw so many other critters from octopus to sea horses and frogfish. The dive centre is just next to our accommodation at Ocean Vida which is super convenient and it’s well organised with boards, nitrox station and freshwater sinks to rinse your gear. All equipment is stored in you own basket with your name on it. Special thanks to our dive guide Genesis who was amazing and showed us so many things underwater.

I completed my Advanced Open Water Certification with them and I am extremely happy for my choice.
Great stuff and very well organized dives with large and small boats.
Nove who was my instructor is extremely passionate with his job, always close to me and providing high level theoretical and practical training. This guy knows how to teach and take care of students!

Had an awesome dive with there team. Customer service is great. The instructors, dive masters and boatmen are knowledgeable in their field. After the dive you can relax and chill in their resort as well.

Had an opportunity to dive here for 15 dives on Nitrox. Our DM was Jude, he was kind hearted and had a good personality. We appreciated his hospitality and for guiding us under the sea.
Kevin the instructor in-charged of the dive center was cool and gave us the vibe of an easy going person while at the same time he professionally ran Dive center with safety as top priority.
The boat was well maintained, the food at Pura Vida was good. We couldn’t ask for more (except minor room hiccup which we hope they fix ASAP as we provide detail instructions, please do as I have photos).
All in all, thank you for a lovely holiday!
Pro tips: Do everything to get to dive at Apo Island! The wall dive is breathtaking! Thanks Kevin!

Did 6 dives with Sea Explorers Dauin. A well organised outfit with good comfortable boats and first rate staff. Our guide Oliver was a bundle of energy and great fun to be around.
