      First Dive makes us want more
      The first dive we tried and it was completely a bliss. Great that we trusted Klook and Watercolors Boracay to get us through this memorable experience. Jimmy as an instructor was perfect who helped us ease and guide us through the entire process seamlessly. Would love to repeat this experience whenever we get another chance. Three cheers for the team and Jimmy 🥂

      Just Perfect!
      It was a really great experience! The Dive Instructor was very caring and took as much time as needed. Communication and organization was perfect. I can only recommend them and let me tell you I had several experiences that were way worse. If you visit Boracay and want to dive, choose then you won’t regret it.

      I did the open water course with my friend and we had a great time. The whole Watercolors team, especially our instructor Darwin, was so amazing! He was really helpful, patient and cheering instructor. Overall the course was super fun and an awesome experience.

      Excellent Diving Experience
      Took the Open Diver's License with Jimmy. He was a extremely helpful and instructive teacher/instructor. Funny and humorous guy that is very knowledgeable about diving. Definitely will come back to Watercolors to do my Advanced Open Water License.

      Friendly, Relaxing and Worth a Visit!
      Cannot comment on the diving experience, as we did not do that. What I can say is that Martin and Ethel made us feel very welcome when we happened upon their establishment on New Year’s Eve. We stayed for drinks and had a great conversation with Martin. It’s a clean, well-appointed place with the nicest staff with the biggest smiles! The menu was carefully explained to us and is all available on your phone via a QR code. It even detects what table you are sitting at! We returned on New Year’s Day for lunch and was impressed that the staff remembered us and that the owners remembered our names as well, a nice touch! The menu is varied and our choices were delicious. They cater for Western palates as well as Filipinos. It’s a quiet venue in Station One, which is nice as you can escape the busyness of the rest of the beach. We will be making several more visits during our time on the island and would recommend a visit if you’re passing. Even if you’re not passing, find them out and spend a few hours there, you will not be disappointed.

      I came in for a fun dive but ended up doing the Advance course with Jimmy. Corals were amazing and the wreck dive was very cool. Jimmy made the process very easy

      Great instructor and amazing dive shop!
      We had a great experience with dive instructor Jimmy. Jimmy was very friendly, responsible and patient with teaching. He always made sure we were okay underwater. We even decided to do the Advanced Open Water course immediately after the Open Water course. Very friendly and helpful staff at dive shop too. Definitely recommend dive shop and instructor.

      5/5 Experience. Go WaterColours!
      A fantastic experience as a Beginner with Jimmy and the entire WaterColours team. We booked open water course and ended up staying on to complete the Advanced course owing to his clear, structured and coherent instruction and guidance. Highly recommend for beginners to intermediate with a high variety of dive sites and good visibility. 5/5 experience. All the best, Jordan

      Loved our first dive
      Very friendly from beginning to end. I am diabetic and Jimmy didn't want to risk it - so I had to go to the doctor to have clearance. That was a very good sign. Videos are informative, and all the staff are very attentive. We definitely had fun!

    I've taken the Discover Scuba Diving course twice before and whilst wonderful neither could remove my nervousness or lack of confidence when diving. I was persuaded by a friend to try again with Jenny Jara at Watercolors Boracay.

    Well, what a very different experience! Working with Jenny in the shallow water area, ahead of the dive, all my fears and concerns were removed as we practiced 4 mask and regulator exercises (which I don't remember having done previously).

    Once Jenny was assured i felt confident, we swam off to a slightly deeper area to practice equalizing. On route we picked up a few items of very old bottles and plastic wrapper trash and placed in to a bag to dispose of properly.

    After a 30 minute rest we headed out on a boat to Angol Point with Jenny checking regularly that I was okay, that I was equalizing and that I was comfortable with the experience. It was a 1-2-1 dive so Jenny was able to focus on my entirely, we swam around large corals teeming with life and swam along the bed, where I saw my first nudibranch, 4 in fact (only ever seen them in photos).

    I finished the experienced so relaxed, confident and happy that I will now undertake my Open Water certificate.

    Watercolors like to keep their dive groups small, to offer the best experience, and it certainly worked for me

    Trudy! My buddy, my teammate, and my good friend. I was truly excited and was grateful when you asked me the first time that you wanted me to take you underwater and nothing comes to my mind but the answer, YES! Terrified and scared first timers underwater that are determined to learn diving are good divers, and you are one of them. Thank you that you choose me as your Dive Instructor. Hope you will dive more with me! Keep diving! - Jenny

    It, was my last days in Philippines and I did not plan to make more than 1 or two dives, but... I made five and felt lucky to find the WaterColors (station 3).
    Everything was perfect - from natural tasty coffee , new and quality equipment to the friendly and helpful crew of the boat. WaterColors, station 3, have a very professional team of dive masters. A great part of my exceptional dive experience was due to my dive master - Bo. The water temperature this season is not high enough but we made long dives together, so by the end I felt myself an integral part of this wonderful underwater world, full of life and having its own laws and values. Unforgettable experience!

    We booked a discover scuba diving session with watercolors through klook. We were a group of 4 friends and all of us had never done scuba before. However, the watercolors staff was amazing and extensively described the methods and skills used to effectively do scuba. A special mention for Sandra who was lucid yet effective in her explanation of the essential skills and tips which would be useful to us as amateurs. This definitely helped all of us a lot while underwater. Even underwater (while doing the scuba activity), Sandra and her team guided us brilliantly and even clicked some wonderful pictures for us to take back as memories. Definitely recommended to other travellers for scuba activities.

    Cannot thank our dive master Sandra, and photographer (/second instructor) Jenny enough for a fabulous experience. From the very beginning we were made to feel welcome and at home at Watercolours. It was a 15 minute stroll along the beach from station 2! The information given was easy to understand for beginners (as we both were) and super informative re the equipment, what to expect and safety measures. We were a couple and had an instructor with just ourselves, also as a tip they can provide photos and video at a cost, but again pictures were great and Jenny was also an instructor so basically we had an instructor each!!!! Cannot praise the whole process of the experience from booking, to communication and actual dive enough!!! Highly recommend!!!! 5*s.

    I had the luxury of having Jimmy take me and my partner out on my first ever scuba dive! As someone who can barely swim, i was initially quite worried but through the initial course briefing, shallow dive testing and the actual dive, Jimmy made me feel very safe the entire
    time! He answered all the questions I had and gave so many great tips - he was very charismatic, funny and overall a fantastic instructor and i couldn’t have asked for someone better. Would defiantly recommend this experience as you get so see and experience the amazing under water life of the boracay waters

    We went to Boracay for my son’s 14th birthday. Before our trip, I’ve booked for a scuba experience for us and candidly informed it’s my son’s birthday on our scheduled scuba class. Ms. Jenny, our dive instructor is superb! An absolute pro. The course includes a PADI lecture, with Ms. Jenny teaching all the basics, initially on land and on shallow waters. After which, we dived and were able to showcase what we’ve learned. Her knowledge, support and guidance underwater made us feel safe and made the experience truly enjoyable. We visited the coral gardens of Boracay, found Nemo and a whole lot of colorful fishes and corals! What touched us the most is she had a surprise underwater birthday cake for my son!! All the while, we thought the bag she was carrying underwater contains dive equipment..but lo and behold! It was a homemade birthday cake made of recycle materials and plastic fruits! What a very personal experience.. and we truly, truly appreciate it. Thank you so much, Ms. Jenny and Watercolors! We’ll be back, for sure!

    Sir Jim and Sir Thomas were both very professional and knowledgable instructors. During the pre-diving exercises, they made sure that I am comfortable in everything I do as a first timer in scuba diving. I was scared to do it in the beginning but after a couple briefing and safety practices I felt safe because of the professionalism of the instructors. Couple tips for people who will book WaterColors in the future: make sure to scroll and read all the way down their instructions before going because there has been a lot of instances where people go to their old location which is at Station 3, but they have already transferred in Station 1.

    I am writing on behalf of my bf, A. as he believes this scuba dive center deserves a nice Review. Staff were really accomodating and kind, paid attention to safety and gave useful info before the dive. A. took 2 advanced dives which he both enjoyed. The beautiful coral reefs and wonderful creatures under the water were amazing. After the dive, his dive Master, Bo, sent him the pictures which you can see in my post. A. highly recommends this dive center and will surely come back. I on the other hand would love to try for beginners next time.☺️🤪
