    Shore dives, EFR + Rescue
    Had a great experience with Sidive! From all the quick informative messages between the owner Simon to the PADI EFR + Rescue Course with Tony (Allan) and then some shore dives with Alfred. Equipment was in good condition. Can’t recommend them more. The sardines on the house reef are amazing too!

    Wonderful Dive Experience!
    My buddy and I haven't dived in years. Rey was our Dive Master and he provided us with the tools and guidance to safely get back into sport! We had great reintroduction to some beautiful waters and color fish. Lunch hit the spot and gave us the energy to finish the third dive where we encountered a sardine bait ball and a sea turtle!

    This was a short trip. We can't wait to go on the next one where can explore even more!

    If you plan to be there for a while and plan to dive a few times consider getting Rey to upgrade your dive status to advanced open water and higher!

    Thanks to Paul and Nen for making us feel like a part of the family! We look forward to seeing y'all again!

    Top shelf experience
    Great experience with George and crew. Island hopping, snorkeling, super lunch, and every detail is thought of. Highly recommended. Tourism is slow now so we had the boat to ourselves. My only improvement suggestion like another review suggested is improving the reservation communication process. Thanks guys for a great day out!

    Fantastic diving experience again in Scotty’s
    Since 2002 I have visited Shangri-La hotel in Cebu 8-9 times, and always found time to dive with the skilled, friendly and multilingual dive masters & instructors of Scotty’s. This year dive master Shuya-san, with his patience & enthusiasm, was specially helpful to motivate my daughter to obtain the SSI Open Water certification.

    Worth every buck! 👌🏻
    I completed my Open Water course with Dive Funatics last week and all I can say is that it was all worth the penny. VERY ACCOMMODATING staff, from pre-booking period up until I finished the course. Basically the whole crew were awesome! My instructor, Sir Jojo, was also very chill and informative 👌🏻 can’t wait to do my Advanced OW with them! 😊

    great local know-how, personalized, helpful, efficient and enjoyable!
    Last February, I happened to be in Moalboal, Cebu having just completed my freediving course there I wanted to do some fundiving elsewhere for the last full day of my trip before heading to the airport - so i messaged Cebu Exclusive Holidays, Gadie to see she could help arrange a super last minute fundive trip around Mactan as well as getting me sorted with a reasonably priced and conveniently located hotel for the night before i met her next morning for fundive in Mactan

    She responded efficiently and quickly within the next 1-2 hours with a hotel booking under my name (all i needed was to check-in and pay the hotel once i arrived) and another email with details instructions on where to meet the next morning for a private guided day of fundiving day on a boat!

    So all i had to do was arrange a car to pick me up that evening to leave moalboal and head to my hotel in mactan with peace of mind that my final day at cebu was planned

    we went to 3-4 dive sites, and Gadie's local know how as a local experience and very outdoorsy Cebuan, there really is no one better to contact if you are travelling alone or with a small cosy group and want something personal and at your own pace, and if you dont want the hassle of booking and researching everything yourself

    And she is an experienced freediver, scuba diver, and underwater model which was a bonus for me as I needed someone to help me take underwater photos and videos whilst doing my fundives with cranes and swimming through caves with my monofin

    The first time i came in contact with Gadie was back in Dec 2014, where I first learned about mermaiding, freediving, monofins and photoshoot with whaleshark so CEBU was where my journey as a mermaid, finswimmer and freediver began!

    Outstanding guest service
    Feel Deep Scuba Diving center is the perfect package if you want to chill in a quiet area and go for diving.
    The resort is small and private, with many thoughtful touches in both the interior and exterior.
    The swimming pool is very sunny and the first half of the day and shaded after 3-4pm.
    Food and drinks are very affordable.
    The entire team is super helpful and attentive (unlike many other places around the Philippines) and will try to assist upon any request or question you might have.
    I did scuba diving for 3 days here. Boat was always on time, everything was prepared and ready to move in a timely manner, no waste of time.
    Overall amazing experience! I will definitely come back to the same place if I ever come to Cebu!

    Once in a lifetime experience !!!
    We took a full day private mermaid photo shooting tour, which allowed us to take beautiful mermaid photos in 3 beautiful islands (beach photo shooting on 2 islands and underwater video & photo shooting on 1 island). Gadie was very flexible to our requests, schedule and swimming skill and arrange fully tailored program for us. Since we wanted to try underwater photo shooting, they gave us a special pre lesson for ear equalization and mono fin use in the ocean, so we could earn a bit of skin diving technique before the shooting. Gadie took care of us so nicely and was next to us all the time, giving advice how to pose or swim gracefully as a mermaid. The whole shooting team were so nice and helpful. The photos taken are just amazing and it was absolutely priceless and special experience. I’m very thankful to Gadie and her team who made our dream come true.

    All what you need all what you love
    That was pleasure to stay in his place Really care about his customers with respect to all you needs. Afternoon after diving you can watch some cave diving movies talk about own diving experience about pleases good to diving. If you interested about diving it is place for you. I was doing PADI there so he helped me with finding PADI instructor. He fooled some one special Dindo care not only about course but about everything like safety food transport even abou coffee He shows me also something about diving Each time when he found rubbish bottle plastic underwater he lifted and put in to bin. He care about environment his students will learn about respect to locals culture traditions. Was really good experience Highly recommendations for that place

    A Truly Excellent Day In All Aspects
    An excellent and professional dive operation, with an emphasis on safety, while ensuring that you have fun. Clemens, Akira, Chrissie and the whole crew went above and beyond. They obtained larger tanks for me, and even gave me rides as I was on their way. The food between dives, prepared by Chrissie ( probably spelled wrong if so sorry) was terrific. The dive site at the Nilusuan Marine Sanctuary was excellent, with a steep and deep wall, with lots of varied marine life, as well as lots of life while making safety stops , so that bottom time was used to the best advantage. Also got lots of ltips for local restaurants, activities wetc. A 5 star operation IMHO.
