great dive shop. the staff was amazing and very intune with our needs. both profesional and fun. by far the best dive shop in El Nido. they have several dive courses in different languages. dalila is the manager and instructor, she is incredible and turned this adventure to an unforgetable one!!! lots of fun on the boat and under water!!! and the price is right.

We liked the place from the first visit, the approach is more customer oriented than some others we had checked, groups are smaller, 2-3 dives per day possible, with great quality lunch on the beach, if weather allows.
Dive masters are amazing, open and patient, helpful both above and under the water.
Also the side restaurant is cute and has great view. Everything located just by the sea next to artcafe. Prices same as everywhere or lower

When we arrived in El Nido, one of the person we met was Dalila at the Salangane (restaurant). she introduced herself and we finally discover that she was the responsible of the Salangane Dive center. My cousine and I told her that we could be interested by diving but we were really scared because we never tryed before... and yet, we already met others responsible of dive center in our life. There was a kind of feeling that there had been with no one else.
We can definitely say that one of the best experience of our life. The monitors take their time to explain and create a kind of confidence that allow you to leave your fears. We also had the chance to get one teacher by person; what is not the case in the others dive center.
If we come back in El Nido soon, we will pass our graduation (open water) for sure! we recommend la Salangane Dive center especially if you never dive before ! For the advanced divers, you could also have some fun following the professionalism staff of this dive center !

My boyfriend and I signed up for a day of diving (for him) and snorkelling (for me). He had an awesome day with the amazing dive masters, and said it was some of the best diving he had ever done in his life. In particular a tunnel near Helicopter Island which had so many fish and cool coral. I went snorkelling just as a passenger on the boat, and although they forgot to bring me a snorkel and mask (had to borrow from another boat), had a really nice day as well, especially snorkelling off helicopter island. As opposed to the Island Hopping experience, there was no one else snorkelling when we arrived so I had the whole area to myself. Overall though it is definitely the staff that make this place awesome, they are very friendly and knowledgeable and we would definitely have gone out with them again if we had time!
