If you prefer macrolife, you can see most creatures on an experienced divers list, or you can get down and dirty in WWII wrecks and immerse yourself in the history that surrounds them. « less

I did ten dives at Evolution, from early morning Thresher Shark dives to late night dives. Their guides were all great, and specialized in even finding the smallest of critters. They were there for any problems under the water and I saw all kinds of creatures that I had never seen before, like miniature sea horses, ghost fish, frog fish,... More

Doesn't disappoint..... their website's tasteful design gives a foretaste of what to expect from Evolution - my emailed booking inquiry got a very prompt and courteous response - and from then on up to completion of my stay, I found the service and quality (in and out of the water) to match the high standards I was expecting. Scrupulously clean... More

Nice & clean diveshop. Friendly. Alway trying to fit your expectation. Complains about "I didn't see any sharks" are really stupid. It's a just chance. Boat, equipment and staff are great, rest of it is a luck. David the owner is nice guy. Diveshop have reasonable prices not like ther neighbor. Scuba instructors have additional discount for a fun dives.... More

My boyfriend and I stayed with evolution in April and I totally agree with the previous review regarding the atmosphere and warmth of this dive centre. Totally safe, totally competent dive shop with totally good equipment but no spark! Slightly sullen girls in the dive shop give you a rehearsed speech on dive etiquette, no real passion for the dives,... More

The management and instructors at Evolution are extremely professional and obviously know how to run a diveshop in an efficient and effective manner. Unfortunately they don't have an understanding of how to make the experience fun. Having gone diving around the world with dozens of dive shops, I know that it is possible and reasonable to expect them to do... More

My wife and I just spent 8 days diving with Evolution. Very professional, very friendly and personable. David and Matt have set up a fantastic dive centre on Malapascua. They offer individual attention and their staff make an honest effort to cater to your specific needs. My wife did her PADI Open Water course with Dannie who also did my... More

I did a long day trip from Negros Island to Malapascua Island and arriving at Evolution spot was like arriving at paradise. Unfortunately they had no vacancy in their rooms, but they arranged me a place very close to spend nights. All the service was great. The dive equipment is very well maintained. The thresher sharks dive was one of... More

As newly certified tech divers, my wife and I wanted exposure to different types of equipment and knowledge people to continue learning from. We found exactly what we were looking for at Evolution. Their prime concern is diver safety. Their equipment is all very well maintained. Good boats with lots of staff ready to help. All gases are blended on... More

After spending 10 weeks travelling around the Philippines and Indonesia this was the best dive shop we visited. We finished our Advanced Padi at Evolution and had a total blast even doing the boring navigation stuff. The night dive on the house reef was amazing and the early morning trip to see the thresher sharks was really special. I had... More

We have just returned from 5 nights staying and diving with Evolution divers. From booking rooms and travel Matt and David have been great, leading by example for customer service, their staff across the board are well trained and very friendly. The tip box on the bar is shared between all the staff and they do deserve it. There was... More
