I came to Malapascua to do OWC and I liked it so much that I stayed longer to do Advance as well :) Highly recommend my instructor Ray! Also big help from Manuel who practiced with me everything on the surface and underwater as well :) They both made my training very effective and fun.
You need to try coffee place next to the dive shop and massage after day of diving :)

Devocean Divers was a very nice dive shop to dive with. All staff was always smileing and in a good mood. They had a lot of different dive sites to visit. And all of them had something to explore. The dive boats was in good condition and they always served coffe and something small to eat. A special thanks to our dive master Pol. He was an excellent guide with a hawkeye for macro. He took so good care of us. Very proffesional and excellent to dive with. We higly recomend Devocean and specilly Pol.

We were in Malapascua in November 2023 and dived with Devocean Divers.
This dive center is very well organized. The staff, the ladies in the office and the whole crew were always friendly, always helpful and offered the best service.
Everything was absolutely perfect.
We had great dives and with Wen the best divemaster. Whether before or after the dives, he always took care of everything. We did 15 dives with him and Wen showed us everything in his calm way, from the big thresher shark to the smallest nudibranch.
They were unforgettable dives.
We can recommend this dive center to anyone who wants to dive in Malapascua.
Greetings from Anita and Reinhard

Perfect experience with Devocean. Super recommended.
From the beginning, they were super kind and supportive: they organized our transport from Cebu to Malapascua and they were always making our experience much better.
We had the best dive master ever: Wen. We did 8 dives with him and he was always super calm and super careful.
All the staff and crew were amazing. The boats and the equipment were in perfect conditions.

I did my AOWD with Nove, and he was the best instructor I could imagine. He explained all clearly in perfect understandable English (mine is not that well). He maked sure I understand all the important things about the special courses. Was at all dives a really good teacher and I learned so quickly from him!
The equipment of the diving school is great, same that I used in my diving school in Germany. But I had my own mask and fins with me, so I can just tell my experience with the borrowed dive computer, bcd, wet suite. By the way, these Threshersharks in malapascua are Amazing! 10/10, would recommend it! Support the locals and have fun with sharks, but always follow your guide, so you don't scare the sharks. Always handle them with respect, then you have a great chance too see them more often!

I did my Nitrox certification with the team last week. instructor was great, however they still haven’t uploaded or sent over the details to PADI after I completed the course so I still can’t dive Nitrox. I’ve tried numerous times to contact them and they have ignored all my emails.

We just did the Open Water Course here and we had an amazing experience! Rey was our instructor, and he was extremely professional, kind and kept us safe all the time.
I would definitely recommend it to everyone looking for diving or doing a course. We look forward to coming back for the advance course!

Everything was amazing!! From the communication point of view - I arranged everything via email in order to complete my open water course- super flexible with the arrangements and the last minute changes! My instructor was paying attention to detail, was super caring and he was happy to explain and share his knowledge with me! Super extra recommended! It was so fun diving with u and thank u PWS for making me a certified diver ❤️ I hope I will dove with them again, soon!

This is my first time diving, is it possible even if I can't speak English? I want to learn with my 12-year-old son. And I'm curious about the cost

I’m thinking to dive in May. What are the chances of spotting sharks?

Hi there! Which are the nearest resorts to your dive centre?

We stayed in a resort called Hippocampus is right beside the dive center. Decent, clean, airconditioned rooms, although if you book a room on the second floor, the stairs are a bit challenging (read: high steps—I know, strange. You don't want to lug your big bag up there). The dive center can actually arrange meals, but you should walk around to dine out—ask about the fantastic Italian resto about 10 mins' walk away. There are other more high-end places nearby, bu didn't explore them anymore, sorry. Have fun—some friends were just there, and the threshers are out to party :)
Hi there,
We are now at Cebu mainland. I'm thinking about letting my two boys learn scuba diving at your centre. They are 7 and 10 years old. Please soon let me know what we should do and if you have the suggested accommodation while our stay.
We'll be leaving 29 August.
Thank you.

Do you teach how to dive and whats the price?
MBenders
Malapascua Island, Philippines8 contributions
Yes we do teach from beginner to pro level. We follow the PADI teaching programs. an open water course, the first steps, takes 4 days. Or begin by doing an Introctory dive (PADI discover scuba dive) with a PADI proffesional, to see how you feel underwater. GREATEST feeling.. weightless, surrounded by aquatic life. An experience that will last you a life time.
