I stayed here for 4 days to get my "open water" certification. This place is fabulous. You can get here by a boat as no direct roads.

The place is run my Mark and Lourdes and they were very prompt and helpful with my reservations, amendments and queries (a lot of them)

They live in Hong Kong so I paid them in their HK account which is pegged to the USD, so, much better.

They sent me a car to pick me in Manila. The drive was very pleasant and safe. I reached the resort by early evening and met them. I had a room with a fabulous view (see pics)

One of the highlights of my trip was also the dive instructor - Egay. He's fabulous and very supportive. Since it was my first time diving I wasn't too sure but Egay made it smooth for me. He's been diving for 30 years or so.

After a dive, coming back to the great views of the resort made it absolutely relaxing. They even have a spa for those who like it.

The best part is that unlike most resorts, this resort has the best dive sights around it and hence no need to take a boat to go somewhere else to dive.

Great resort. Friendly people, clean accommodation and most of all excellence food.
1. Food..food... food... Amazing chef Michael.. Lunch/dinner were fantastic especially the BBQ picnic (pork belly, chicken, fish, prawn, etc)... He and his team followed our long distance dive. By the time we finished our 2 dives, the amazing lunch was waiting for us...
2. The resort - we (7pax) got a huge bedroom each. Unfortunately, bathroom is very small compared with the size of the bedroom. Hot shower (water pressure is very low). Wifi accessible in the room. Carla and her friendly team take care of all our needs.
3. Diving. Unfortunately, this is not our expectation. We heard so much about Anilao but after 12 dives nothing really to shout about except for the corals and the plants. Very nice healthy corals and plants. We got a great DM (Ah Long). I guess he must be trying very hard to look out for rare creatures..On hindsight, should spend more dive time at the tip of Mabini.

Overall, we still enjoy our trip. Hope to see you all again...

Everything about this place was fantastic!! From accommodations to food, to service, to cleanliness and everything else. After a day of diving , you can hang out and fall asleep in their garden area w palapas and lawn chairs. Did I mention the diving was simply superb?!! The dive master Kix Tenchavez was world class!! The rescue diver Vince Tenchavez made our diving trip that much more safe and secure. I'll come back for sure.... sooner than soon! ❤❤❤ Bauan Diver's Sanctuary surely lives up to its name.
