His staff Alfred, Ken and Din are just so awesome and make every day a happy day when we go diving with them. If you're staying in Cebu City or in Mactan island these are the guys to dive with. We actually did our Open Water diver course and Advanced course with them and got to stay with Simons lovely family. The course was very professional and great value for money. If you're in town you must go to Sidive!

I had so much fun and discovered so many new things and saw so many things that I have never seen in my life before. it was so surreal to see so many different types of fish and even some turtles and all of the beautiful corals underneath the water. this was one of the most fun things that I did while on my vacation in the Philippines, and I would highly recommend that everybody try it at least once.

A good friend wanted to come to Malapascua for a dive trip and we stumbled upon Sea Explorers…read more Making arrangements was a breeze since the dive shop is connected to two hotels, Ocean Vida and Buena Vida. I finally committed this dive trip to getting my AOW and EANx certs. Sea Explorers made arrangements for our private transfer and had a car waiting for us at our hotel which took us to the pier. Once we arrived at the hotel and dive shop, we were quickly greeted by Keith and went over details on how we make arrangements for our dive trips and paired me up with Alexandra would be my AOW instructor. Since our room wasn't ready until 2, we opted to join the 9:30 and 1:30 charters. Though the vis wasn't great, we did see some pretty cool things. The main attraction here are the thresher sharks where we were fortunate to see during one of the two times we went out. Again vis wasn't ideal but we were able to make them out. The other attraction are the Mandarinfish which come out at sunset to mate. Would definitely recommend Sea Explorers to anyone and am hoping to make it back here one day.

The facilities are small: A reception-shop, a store with diving equipment, a warehouse for storing the equipment you are using at that time, a small classroom with TV and video and an outdoor area where besides cleaning the equipment after each dive can leave drying. Malapascua is the paradise for watching and diving with threser sharks, but perhaps is a good place also to start diving. If you go to Malapascua don't hesitate to come here to ask about prices and ask for Rubi to consult doubts about diving or PADI.

Dive thru Scuba diving indeed, especially during high tide. The boat is waiting on the doorstep!read more

One of Cebu's unique tours would be to see the whale shark in Oslob. I was a little terrified at…read morefirst as our small boat carried us further out sea but that fear/anxiety was gone as soon as I saw these beautiful and gentle creatures. They were huge so cute at the same time there just swimming and eating lol Btw, i understand there are concerns about the pros and cons regarding this activity. I completely understand that and its just such a broad topic to even talk about so please do your own research if you are having second thoughts or just want to know more. This review is really just for the experience that I had. Anyway, we entered from BCD resort which was convenient as we get to park there and we also had a guide to help us navigate were to go first (register, "orientation" etc). You go out in the waters for more or less 30mins which is really enough. Activity starts around 7-11am so the fish can have some time on their own to hunt for food rather than get so used to being fed. I appreciate that the staff reminds guests to have all lotions and sunscreens rinsed off prior for the safety and health of these fishes. It seems to be a little more organized this time around compared to before. There is also same pricing now regardless if your local/foreigner and if you are swimming/staying on the boat. Life jackets are provided and the "bangkeros" give out the food/krill to the Butandings/Whale Sharks so all you get to do is enjoy swimming with them or viewing them from the safety of that small boat. Beautiful experience.

You can bring your own if you want to snorkel. You can also bring your own fins. Picture wise, you can bring a water proof case for your phone or a Go Pro. The street vendors were selling water proof cell phone bags there but not sure how good they would have been so opted to leave phone behind. The staff didn't do pre-arranged photos like at other excursions. So something to think about if you really want to get a pic Really fun experience. It was crowded on a Friday and the weekend. Probably less crowded on the weekday.
