Bongo Bongo Divers

We came here for our PADI Open Water Diver and had the best time! Luna is a wonderful teacher with loads of knowledge and experience. Also the rest of the staff there were always super kind and helpful. The resort itself is very beautiful especially the shared bathrooms and the pool. Great location just a couple of steps away from the beach, where there's a beautiful reef to explore (we saw several sea turtles, colourful corals and fish). After finishing our course we got to go to Apo Island, where we had the most amazing diving experience so far. Plenty of sea turtles again, clear water and the most diverse creatures we've seen to this point. We're definitely coming back again and will recommend Bongo Bongo divers to anybody looking for a great diving experience!

Got my Open Water Certification from Bongo Bongo! Staff are really nice and helpful. Luna was my instructor and she made me feel safe throughout the course. They have a really nice house reef and that's where I did my course dives. Rooms are cheap but nice. We got an AC room for 2 with private CR for more or less Php 1500 only. Can't wait to go back soon!

I took my Open Water Diver Certificate at Bongo Bongo, and it was a really nice experience. I felt so safe with my instructor, Luna, who was very professional and attentive. I also stayed at Bongo Bongo while taking the certificate and it is a really nice place with good service and a very lovely atmosphere. When I was done with my course, I went on a daytrip with Bongo Bongo to Apo Island, and it is one of the best experiences I ever had. I can highly recommend staying, diving and taking a diver certificate at Bongo Bongo!

I didn’t stay there. I was there for diving for 3 days. Staff were very professional and calm. They were knowledgeable and shared all information asked. They managed different dive sites for our 9 dives. Honestly I didn’t come to Dauin with much expectation except few dive but here everything was going very smoothly & we kept continuing everyday. Thanks for good experience!

Bongo Bongo Divers is a great place for anyone keen to dive in Dauin with knowledgeable and safe divemasters and instructors, and who is looking for reasonably priced and good quality accommodation within walking distance of the beach and main town. I've stayed with them a couple of times now, and the atmosphere is always friendly and sociable, which is great if you want to chat with other like-minded divers in the evenings. They have a cafe / bar serving drinks, and while they don't serve food, you're welcome to use the kitchen, or to order food in for delivery from one of the many tasty restaurants in Dauin. I recently did my instructor development course with Anthony, who is an excellent course director, and he put in lots of time and work to make sure we had all the skills and knowledge we needed to pass the instructor exam. Thanks Anthony! :)

Bongo Bongo Divers 👌👌Thank you , More people will see again how beautiful underwater is . Just want to show people how beautiful underwater is and be aware how to take care of it GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE . This Dive Hostel offer courses that allows people to experience scuba diving in a safe and professional environment, with the option to do it in a pool or shallow water.

Laid back, friendly staff, awesome dive guides who can find the tiniest marine life. Location is not beach front but close enough. They have their own house reef. The facility had newer equipment and everything was laid out with the diver in mind. They have a bar, but no food. They do have the menus for restaurants which deliver in the area. Rooms come in different choices, minimalist designs, no TV, but you should not be hanging out in there at a dive resort anyway. Diving was great. Safety was a priority.

Consummate professionals that have established the standard I seek in every other dive shop. I recently started a 2-month dive trip across the Philippines after 8 years from my last dive. I spent six months researching the best dive shop to reactivate and earn my AOW, and chose Bongo Bongo due to their reputation - I was more than impressed. Their instructors and dive masters worked with me after every dive to correct mistakes, learn new skills and become a better, safer diver. They are not a "service" dive shop like far too many, they have a strict emphasis on quality that shows. I was also trained using a Shearwater Peregrine which was very nice and demonstrates their approach to quality. Their dive facilities and equipment are clean and well maintained. They also provide stable and very high speed internet, which is a rarity in the Philippines, even better than I have at home in the US. More than that, they have built a community-focused dive shop where I was encouraged to hang out in my off time and chat with some truly professional divers. Plus they offer a consistent dive schedule including Apo Island and night dives (I could dive any night I wanted). Their house reef is absolutely fantastic, lots of vibrant coral and sealife including massive turtles only meters away from their door. They retrained me from the ground up and every time I mention that "I was trained at Bongo Bongo" I hope I do their reputation justice.
