Deserves more than 5 stars. Divemasters are professional and good with spotting at unique sea creatures. They will really take care of other divers in the group too. Owner is really polite and really nice as well. As of this time, free videos and photo.

I highly recommend El Dive! I cannot think of a single negative aspect about El Dive. Everything and everyone exceeded my expectations. The master, Yoshi, was very kind in arranging our diving schedule, and he even offered to organize a surprise birthday party for my partner during our diving trip. Our diving guide, Mark, was exceptional! He was gentle, humorous, and ensured our safety, making me feel extremely comfortable while diving with him. Mark took numerous photos and videos of us, which was fantastic. We enjoyed two days of diving, and I only wish we had more time for additional dives. El Nido is incredibly beautiful, and El Dive proved to be an excellent diving shop, providing us with a fantastic diving experience."

Highly recommend El Dive!!

The owner Yoshi is super detail-oriented, quick to respond, and caters to the needs of customers very well, including different diving skill levels.

Our divemaster Mark was very friendly, and humorous. He knew exactly where to see all the good stuff, and he made sure that we got lots of good pictures of both us divers and the creatures in the ocean. The dives with him were very enjoyable and felt very safe.

After the dives, they also sent all the pictures and videos to us within a few hours!

The organization was perfect. When we arrived everything was already packed and ready to go. Top quality gear and service. We even couldn’t go the day we were supposed to be going because of illness. That was not a problem at all and we were able to go the day after. Our divemaster Mark was one of the best guides we had during our asia trip 9 months so far. Mark was very friendly, helpful and patient. One of the best dives so far! They even provide free filming under water! We had some great shots while being in a cave. They will provide the best experience as possible!

We went for 3 AOW boat fun dives at Yoshi’s diveshop “El Dive”. The quality of the service is very high! Never had such an easy dive experience where everything will be arranged for you by the calm and friendly staff. The boat is spacious and there where 3 instructors for 5 people. Felt like a private dive experience! When we arrived at the boat there was Coffee, some snacks and enough fresh water to get true the day. There was also lunch that was included which was very tasty! The instructors are very experienced and comfortable to dive with. Point out nice things to see underwater and keep you calm at all times! Overall a perfect experience and all this for a very good low price (Y)

Many thanks to Mr. Yoshi, Mark the master, and the El Dive team.
Thanks to your thoughtful and competent service, we had amazing adventures underwater.
Despite not being able to swim, I can dive. The Master recorded a lot of footage for us.
Highly advised.

A must do activity in El Nido, it was a great 2-day wonderful dive. was a bit discomforting at first, but going along with the friendly instructors which are by the way hands on, and seeing the underwater world made it more exciting despite doing it first time! Surely gonna go back!

My instructors GLENN and JOB are the best. they are very calm and always make sure i am ok and enjoy while diving. EL Dive also provides me pictures and video during my diving session. they also provided me a big lunch with many choices. Such an amazing experience!

You guys can find them opposite the famous el Nido bakery shop in the center of the town.
