I performed (3) dives with this shop's Dive Master and team and had great fun. I performed a refreshing dive in the dive center's pool and then did a reef dive. The next day I dove with sardines, turtles, jackfish and much, much more. It is very affordable as well. I would stay here again and use this dive center. Very safe.

The rooms are clean, well supplies with amenities, good hot and cold shower, most importantly very spacious and a cleaning staff that checks on you daily. Most of the rooms have a huge veranda where families can hang out together. Although their cable TV is not working. However, the rates are not long-staying friendly.

The food was also great and money's worth. Although you have to order at least a day earlier for them to be served on time.

The diveshop is clean but with the rates they are charging their BCD are sooooo worn out, they have to tie it with a rope, the pockets are torn and sagging, some of their regulator mouthpiece are worn out, you have to use your spare octopus when you dive. Good thing though, their dive staff are very good, courteous and accommodating. Marian their dive receptionist is always "grace under pressure", Aison, is calm and gentle especially for 1st time divers. Their air in their tank is very clean and although equipment are not in top shape, you can be assured of it being clean. Their dive rates are too much for the kind of equipment they are issuing to guests.

My boyfriend and I got our diving open water diving course at Aquaholic inside Club Serena and we both learned so much in theory and practical. The dive shop has a quiet and big room where you watch the training videos and answer the exams. Club Serena has a swimming pool so we did our first practical there for the skills before they let us dive in open water. The Staff and the Diving Instructors and Guides were all so friendly and accommodating we did not have a single problem during our stay. The dive spots are also really spectacular especially the millions of sardines on our second dive. It was so beautiful!

If you want to dive, or learn how to dive this place is highly recommended. I have met other divers who took their course elsewhere in the Philippines and it wasnt as educational since some instructors just leave you to watch the videos and with no follow ups.

I have been staying twice at this place. Once in 2013 and the second one just recently. I like the hospitality of the staff here, they are kind and helpful. This place also served either local and international food. A limited selection of Japanese food also on the menu. The location also very strategic to the sites for scuba diving. The Aquaholic Dive Shop offering dive trips other than scuba dive and free dive courses. I did some diving at Pescador Island and Panagsama, and other places on my 5 days stay, only a short distance by boat from this place. The only drawback was this place will charge you for everything including the bottled water in the room, coffee and tea, which normally available in abundant and for free at other dive resort.
However, I already familiar with the room, staff and food, so I will stay here again next time I dive this area again.

Went once as just for diving and then came back to do my Rescue with Adrienne (since then I heard she unfortunately has left).
The resort is great, good food, great rooms especially the tree house.
Good dive center, well managed.
Fabulous dive with thresher shark and sardine run, beautiful walls...
Good Divemasters/guide, clean and good dive gear.
Pick up from airport with a great mini van,
Highly recommended

We decided to use this dive shop since our resort, Hale Mana, had no dive facilities. We did three dives - one in the house reef, one off Pescador island, and the last at Tuble point. The house reef was so so - nice corals and we had a glimpse of a school of jacks. The best dives were at Pescador island where we saw the sardine run - millions of sardines swimming around the island. It was amazing! We couldn't get enough of the sight. The pictures don't do the experience justice. As for our dive at Tuble point, we had 6 pawikan (sea turtle) sightings!!! One pawikan was huge and was just sitting on the reef, not moving. All in all, we had wonderful dives with this dive shop.

Btw, we preferred this dive shop to the other dive shop in the area because they have more affordable prices. Plus our dive guides were quite helpful. They knew we were on the look out for pawikans and really kept their eyes open to point out all the sights underwater.

If you're taking the boat out to dive off Pescador island and Tuble point, I suggest buying a packed lunch from Club Serena's restaurant. Another great plus is after our dives, we got to hang out by Club Serena's pool to relax.
