Reviews
Overall, it was a good experience! Sir Bennie and the Freedive Academy team were very accommodating and friendly, making the dive smooth and enjoyable. I just wish I had more time to appreciate the stunning Napaling Reef and witness the sardines fully, but the strong current cut our dive short. Still, I’m happy that the GoPro was already included in the tour, allowing me to capture the experience. It was a great adventure, and I’d love to go back for another try!
Before entering the water, the diving instructor will explain the precautions in detail, and there is also a Chinese version of the guide. If any problems occur, they can be solved in time, so there is no need to worry!
I highly recommend Bohol freediving!!! There was no hotel pick-up, so we took a tuk-tuk to the center. It's at the entrance to Napaling, so it's a bit far from Napaling. After confirming the reservation, we went to Napaling, and a local professional diver explained 4 important things. He explained in detail using easy words and slowly mixing Korean so that even I, who is not good at English, could understand. Please do it. I had a diving experience with one-on-one care from the moment I entered the sea. It was the perfect experience for someone like me who can't swim. It was very safe and comfortable and I enjoyed the amazing and beautiful underwater scenery. They allow you to take a shower after the 30-minute experience, and they even copy the video you shot with the GoPro to your cell phone. Highly recommended.
I was nervous at first because it had been a while since I last tried diving, but the staff helped me relax and explained things to me in detail, so I was able to dive with confidence. I had a great time swimming with so many sardines.
The coaches were very patient in their explanations and allowed us to slowly adapt to environments of varying depths. They were always by our side to assist with any unexpected situations.
This is a very good service if you are a total beginner. Otherwise, I would advise seeking a different service. You are given about 30 minutes with lots of pictures.
You can see the Sardines Storm. Maybe it was because of the big waves and the rain, the water quality was not as clear as expected, but the overall experience was good.
The dive guide was very attentive, the overall service was excellent, and there was a place to shower.
Beginners to Bichubits are recommended to those who like water and are intermediate swimmers. The equipment is a bit flimsy. The trumpet reef itself was so steep that it was uncomfortable.
