The entire experience at Dive Funatics was amazing! From Darwin’s patient explanation of the various options to diving instructor Kae and her assistant Ollie’s expert instruction I couldn’t imagine a better experience! Thank you so much for opening the underwater world to me and for helping me check an item off of my bucket list! Wishing you all continued success and looking forward to returning for more advanced training in the future!

Wir kommen aus Deutschland und haben unseren open water diver gemacht. Der Kurs war bei Zig, ein sehr sehr guter Trainer, er hat uns wunderbar ruhig und auf sehr gut verständlichen Englisch alles erklärt.Ich würde die Tauchschule auf alle Fälle empfehlen. Bei den Übungstauchgängen ist eine sehr schöne Unterwasserwelt zu entdecken. Wir sahen sogar Schildkröten und Sardinenschwärme.

Our group of three travelers from Canada completed both the Open Water and Advanced Open Water courses back-to-back with Dive Funatics, and it was an unforgettable experience. Darwin and Kae were fantastic in responding quickly to emails and providing valuable assistance during the planning process.Ricky, our instructor for the Open Water course, was exceptional both in the classroom and underwater. His teaching style made the learning process smooth and enjoyable.Zig, who led our Advanced Open Water course, is an absolute wealth of knowledge and truly passionate about sharing his experiences with us. His insights greatly enriched our dive experience.A special mention to Bryan, our safety diver for both courses, who was always present, providing guidance and offering useful tips to help us improve our diving skills.The professionalism, enthusiasm, and expertise of the entire team at Dive Funatics are unparalleled. I wholeheartedly recommend this dive shop to anyone looking for an outstanding diving experience!

Our experience with Dive Funatics was nothing short of amazing! The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and passionate about diving. Since we were traveling for three weeks, we decided to complete both our Open Water and Advanced Open Water certifications. This allowed us to do an incredible nine dives in just four days, totaling over 300 minutes underwater!We highly recommend doing both courses back-to-back—it’s the best way to develop your skills, build confidence, and truly feel at home beneath the surface. The Dive Funatics team walks you through every detail, from safety procedures to practical skills, all while ensuring you have fun and enjoy the experience.For our Open Water course, we had Ricky as our instructor and Brian as our safety diver, and for the Advanced Open Water, we trained with Zig as our instructor and Brian again as our safety diver. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable before and during every dive, patiently answering all our questions and closely monitoring us every step of the way.If you’re considering getting your PADI certification, stop hesitating and just do it with Dive Funatics—you won’t regret it!

I highly recommend diving with Dive Funatics! Bryan was outstanding in leading my dive and pointing out all the incredible marine life underwater. As it was my first ocean dive, I felt completely comfortable and well-prepared throughout the entire experience. The staff is not only fun but also very flexible, going above and beyond to ensure you have the best time possible.

I had a wonderful experience getting certified as an OW diver with Dive Funatics. I booked the course directly from PADI website and everything went smoothly from there. Communication with the admin side of things was very fast thanks to Darwin and Kae. Transportation and light lunch was provided as part of the package I availed and they did not disappoint. The best part for me was the professionalism of all the staff. My superstar instructor Kuya Ricky was beyond amazing. He was very thorough in discussing the technical side of diving and made sure I understood everything before starting each dive. He patiently calmed me down when I got nervous underwater and did not make me feel like I was just being dramatic. He even went the extra mile to buy me medication when I got seasick on the first day. He was like a big brother and genuinely cheered for me everytime I completed a task. I felt safe and secure with them the entire time. I definitely look forward to doing my Advanced OW course with Dive Funatics in the future.

Great Diving School! I just did my PADI open Water here and the course and organisation was great. Ricky is a very good instructor and took his time to answer all my questions about the course contect, equipment to buy etc. The communication after booking went smoothly, the location is great and a i had a really good time overall. I can also recommend to get the video if it's your first dive.

Dives at our house reef, famously known as the Kontiki Reef is a daily thing for us.

This divesite offers a wall dive, school of sardines, and awesome macro subjects, but most of all, it doesn’t require long swims as what may be a turn-off for most divers when they hear of a “shore dive” kind of a diving. Pricing starts at 1,600/dive including the use of gear, a guide and facilities fee.

Looking to explore further? We have great sites, marine protected areas like Talima Marine Sanctuary, San Vicente, Hilutungan and Nalusuan. Boat may be privately chartered for a day to provide you and your buddies the exclusive trip that you prefer. We can organize a boat dive for you and your group.
