Basic Diving for Beginners

I'm a regular diver and currently training to become a Divemaster with DiveGurus here in Boracay. I keep coming back because the team is genuinely amazing. They're experienced, supportive, and they really take the time to help you grow as a diver. The vibe is always friendly and relaxed, but everything is still run very professionally. The dive sites around Boracay are beautiful and the staff know them inside out. Every dive feels safe, fun, and worth it. If you're thinking about diving in Boracay, whether it's your first time or you're looking to level up, I honestly recommend DiveGurus. They’ve made a big difference in my diving journey.

I had my first basic diving course yesterday with DiveGurus Boracay, and it was an unforgettable experience! The staff were incredibly friendly, and Coach Joshua was exceptionally patient in teaching me the skills and guiding me throughout the dive. We explored Angol Point, which was absolutely mesmerizing. Coach Joshua also took amazing videos of me during the dive. While the videos weren’t included in the package, the extra Php 1,000 was well worth it to document this underwater adventure. I’d definitely come back for more dives in the future!

This is my 5th DSD dive before diving here and every dive is definitely worth the experience! Thank you so much Kuya Jojo for being hands on with me. Will definitely be back to take the Open Water diving course ❤ ❤

I actually did several dives before diving here. However, since I have not get a diving liscense yet. So, I have to join the beginner course so to be ready and approved to dive. The diving master is knowledgeable. He is very approachable. He had some discussion with me, to get to know my diving background before we start all the training. I can tell he is a pro. He knows what to plan and adjust the training according to my needs since I had some experienced before. Overall, it was good because the master is very good.

The instructor was very helpful and he guided me all throughout the dive. It was easier to communicate with him since he speaks english.

THE BEST!! not only were kuya max and kuya dom experts in diving, but they were also fun to explore the sea with. at first we were apprehensive abt the whole experience but it turned out to be the most rewarding activity ever. they taught us well and gave us the confidence boost we needed. i also want to commend them for being caring bc my sister accidentally stepped on a sea urchin otw to the boat but they managed to calm her down and treat her. she ended up pushing thru the dive and even tho she cudnt move her other foot much, kuya max made sure she cud still dive by giving her a helping her throughout the whole dive. cant wait to try it again 😍

I’m not good at swimming and never done scuba diving before. The instructor was quite professional and patient. Despite having high anxiety in the beginning, he encouraged me to breathe slowly and steadily, helping me push through my comfort zone. Moments later, I was underwater, seeing fishes, and experiencing something that will remind me that I can push through my limit and fear. I highly recommend to try and be ready to step out of your comfort zone! You won’t regret it!

Had an amazing experience with DiveGurus Boracay during the Basic Diving for Beginners activity. Coach Stell and Coach Pia were both very patient, supportive, and made the whole dive feel safe and enjoyable. Their guidance made it a great first diving experience. Excellent service from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Darwin gave a very detailed and informative briefing of the safety measures first, then made sure we practiced essential skills before going further for the dive 👌🏻 schedule was just slightly delayed but it’s all good!

The adventure kicked off on a Sunday morning, April 27, 2025. We were grinning through a mix of excitement and a hint of nervousness – but all set for the first scuba diving adventure. It was way cooler and comfier than we thought. We expected equalizing pressure in our ears to be a pain, but nope, it was a breeze. As we explored, the underwater world blew my mind. Colorful corals, fishes having a party, and feeling the soft sand under my feet – pure magic. ❤️ As a beginner, you will be assisted with an expert that will guide you through the underwater journey. Thank you to our best instructor JOSH of DIVEGURUS. We had the best experience and magical moment to witness the beauty underwater.🏖️☀️🤿
