Life changing experience! My wife and I had the absolute best experience with Lorena and Kevin during our 2 dives. Both of us are not the best swimmers and we mentioned it to Kevin and Lorena before our dive. They were extremely gentle with us explained everything perfectly. We felt totally safe and managed to see some amazing underwater views with them. My wife had a moment of panic during her first jump, and Kevin's instructions and overall presence helped her calm down completely. We both highly recommend Kevin and Lorena as your instructors. They are very experienced and knowledgeable. Thanks to them we had the most amazing time in Siargao!

I had the most incredible experience completing my OW Diver’s Course with Palaka Dive Center yesterday. Massive thanks to my instructor, Camillo, for being such an amazing teacher throughout the whole process. He communicated everything so clearly, both in and out of the water, which made learning feel really comfortable and stress-free. There was no room for confusion from my end, unlike my experience from another dive center. I struggled a bit at first with descending deeper, but he was incredibly patient and reassuring the entire time. He made me feel calm, safe, and confident every step of the way. I’d highly recommend learning with this dive center, especially with an instructor like Camillo. Big thanks as well to the whole team for making it such a great experience!

I had the pleasure to meet Kevin and Marc as my instructions for the open water course. This was my first time diving and I was really fortunate to have dived with Marc in the ocean. I genuinely believe I met a great community with nice people but more importantly, real experts. The clamness and experience Marc had enabled me enjoying the dives, and in a sense, to trust him with my life. I genuinely believe I couldn't have chosen a better spot. If you wanna try diving the first time, or get your certificate, I strongly recommend this dive center.

We completed our Advanced Open Water course with Camille, and he was an excellent instructor. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and, so far, the best dive instructor I’ve ever had. I did a total of seven dives with Camille, and I always felt safe and well taken care of. There was never any rushing, and he always made sure that everything was done carefully and safely, without taking unnecessary risks. I can highly recommend diving with Camille. If you’re looking for a professional, experienced, and safety-conscious instructor, I would definitely recommend him!

Great diving experience with my instructor Kevin. Had to be one of my most relaxed dive trip. The shop was very clean, located in front of the market. Equipment and boat were well maintained. Small boat, 6 divers. No issues. The staff in the dive shop were awesome. Great customer service, happy to be there and all smiles. Queen, Mitch and Grace were so welcoming. I have to say the mahi-mahi fish sandwich was one of the best I've had. Fresh, huge, very filling. The fries were to die for. Bring cash to avoid credit card fees.
