Ive been diving many places and the service by this company by far surpasses any place I've been to. Our dive master really a lot about aquatic life and he was very concerned with safety which was much appreciated. My only complaint is that the boat broke down and we were stuck waiting two hours for a different boat. It... More

We had a great experience with Submariner. My husband and I had been recently open water certified and had a few dives under our belts not all of them had been positive, so when planning our next dive I reached out to Submariner to seek out a good person to dive with who could help me rebuild my confidence. We... More

I just got my Open Water Diver PADI certification, with Ben as my instructor. Great great great experience. The diving around El Nido is really good - saw lots of coral, turtles, countless varieties of fish including trumpet, baby lion fish, a few rays, barracuda.... Submariner is a great team and were extremely friendly and helpful to answer all questions... More

As all of the previous Submariner reviews indicate, this dive operation rocks! From start to finish, they've got it figured out. From Ronny the owner, who handled our last minute email reservations, to Joey who handles the office and customer relations day to day, to Wyn our divemaster who tailored our experience to our liking, and all of the numerous...

I did 21 dives with Submariner during my stay in El Nido. They provide good diving, the staff is professional and nice, and you get good well maintained diveequipment if you don´t bring your own. The included lunch when you are out on the dives, tast also very well.

My wife and I recently earned our OWD certification with Submariner and it was a great experience. We were both a bit nervous at first but our instructor, Andre, was very patient, professional and meticulous with the instruction. We both became comfortable within a couple of dives and quickly became addicted to diving. Ronny is very picky with the dive... More
