From first contact Simon was attentive and catered to all my needs, making it clear what to expect from the course before I arrived with quick responses to all my emails. Beginning with the theory Simon allowed me to use his facilities, including his pool, and was extremely understanding in answering any query I may have. Having finished the theory my first open water dive came the following day. Diving with one of the instructors, Alfred, we started with the skills which were taught thoroughly before going on our first fun dive. Alfred's teaching methods meant that it wasn't long before I could master the skills required, and having completed all the skills a number of times both in the 'pool area' at Kontiki and on the dives I had soon completed my open water course. However, this was not it for me, I had made it clear to Simon that I also wanted to complete the advanced diver course. Simon offers both PADI and SDI instruction, and I followed SDI as this was the cheaper option. Again having completed the theory I started my advanced course. The first day of dives I completed (peak performance buoyancy and advanced navigation and night diving) was instructed by Simon. Again, like Alfred, Simon was very thorough giving me a sense that I was entirely safe at all times. On my second day of the advanced course we dived from a boat with a number of others both taking courses and on fun dives. This time, however, Alfred was yet again my instructor doing the boat dive and also deep dive to complete my advanced course. Yet again the instruction was flawless and Alfred and I had a good laugh on all the dives, putting me at ease throughout. Following this I had now completed my advanced diving course, and the thing that most struck me was that at each site we dived, both in Kontiki and off the boat the coral and the fish life was phenomenal. Now onto the final part of my trip, then I promise I'll shut up. Simon also offers a package deal to dive with the whale sharks in Oslob as well as other activities in Moalboal and nearby areas. I took him up on this offer and despite the extremely early start (3:30am) I one of the most amazing and intense days ever. Starting with the whale sharks, we snorkelled so close to them we could almost touch them. Then on to the canyoneering, this was a long and at times gruelling experience, travelling down river in the canyon jumping from waterfalls and entering some fascinating pools. This lasted a few hours and thoroughly knackered us but some of the sights were beyond belief, so when coupled with the adrenaline ridden jumps and climbs was an experience to remember. We finished with Iginid falls (excuse the spelling) which traditionally has 5 levels to climb up but we went to the top (level 8), the first time even Simon had done this, and it was well worth it. I should note that Simon also offers on this package to replace one element with snorkelling with the sardines in Moalboal (which I later dived with a few days later), which I also would highly recommend. And thus my highly action packed week ended, and what a week. If you are thinking of diving with Sidive I can only say one thing, book it, you won't regret it! I'll certainly be going back. read more

My family and I recently had the most incredible diving experience with SiDive at Kontiki Marina in Cebu. We embarked on a boat trip that included three amazing dives, and it exceeded all our expectations! As a family of four with kids who had recently qualified as open water divers, we were looking for a memorable adventure, and SiDive delivered just that. The organization of the trip was impeccable. The boat was divided into three small groups, and we were fortunate to be in the third group, diving with Alfred. Alfred, our dive guide, deserves special mention. His care, attention to detail, and sense of humor made the entire day an absolute delight. He felt like an underwater safari guide, and we were lucky to witness a plethora of sea life on all three dives. From turtles and lionfish to seahorses, morays, jackfish, and even multiple encounters with Nemo, the marine life sightings were beyond our dreams. The food prepared on a barbecue on the back of the dive boat by Glory was superb! It was a delicious feast that refueled us for more underwater adventures. Speaking of the boat, it was perfect for diving. Spacious and equipped with convenient steps for getting back on board between dives, it added to the overall comfort and ease of the experience. The entire boat crew was incredibly helpful and attentive, making us feel pampered throughout the day. We truly appreciate their hospitality. Our day with SiDive at Kontiki Marina is something we will cherish as a memory for life. And what's even better, it was reasonably priced for the incredible experience it offered. In summary, if you're looking for an unforgettable diving experience in Cebu, SiDive is the place to go. Thank you to everyone at SiDive for giving us a day very well spent and memories that will last a lifetime! read more

Did my Open water course with Simon and his amazing crew at Sidive and it was one of the best experiences of our lives. Simon was very responsive tour emails and answered all our questions promptly. when we arrived he put us up in the spare room in his house which was super comfortable with zircon and a private bathroom. His instructors Alfred and Earl were so friendly and patient and helped me overcome my initial nerves. In the evening Simon showed us around Cebu and even took us to Tops restaurant up the mountain. We loved the Open water course so much that we decided to go back and do the Advanced course a few days after. The price was so good. We had a great time and will definitely be back. Simon and his crew are the best. read more

Owd+aowd ja toiselle deep dive kurssi, molemmille hyvä majapaikka kaupan päälle SiDiven omistajan kotoa hyvältä alueelta, löytyy allaskin. Kurssien opettajat olivat mukavia, sukelluskurssin laatu oli hyvä, mutta ei yhtä pätevää kuin suomessa olisi ollut. 4 ssä päivässä owd ja aowd kurssi, jonka jälkeen ehtii loput lomasta viettää sukelluslisenssi taskussa. We got a good accommodation with a pool for the days of the course, and owd + aowd in 4 days including two boat dives. I recommend SiDive. Instructors were fun and qualified. Thanks! read more
