Spent New Year’s Eve on deep blue dive safari’s boat with 3 absolutely perfect dives and I can honestly say that this is my favourite company I’ve ever dove with!! Great boat, the most amazing crew, and a phenomenal on board fresh lunch. Seriously, I can’t recommend them enough. The atmosphere was so fun between everyone onboard and the crew— something special. We had Mark as our instructor and we adored him, can’t express in words just how kind and enthusiastic he was, he rocked. Just an awesome company, you can’t go wrong with them :)

After going to almost every dive shop, I found that deep blue had the best price and was going to the best spots. My dive guide was a relaxed guy that was very thorough and careful. There were maybe 10 divers on board and the largest group was three divers to one guide, my group only had one other guy! They try to match you with equal skill level so while we all went to the same sites everyone did a different dive. They look after you well and the equipment was fantastic. I highly recommend.

The very experienced diving school with a speedboat for small groups is located right on the beach in the center of the town of El Nido and can quickly adapt to any level of diver, whether beginner or professional. The divemaster is extremely ambitious, patient and empathetic, and speaks great English. Highly recommended!

My brother and I dived with the team at Deep Blue Dive Seafari and would 100% recommend them! There are so many dive shops to choose from in El Nido, all offering very similar packages/prices but these guys were so friendly and welcoming which made them stand out. The whole experience was professionally run and felt very safe and the team had planned the day perfectly including a stunning secluded beach stop for lunch! They chose dive sites which gave us a great variety of coral, marine life and a cool tunnel dive- and we were pretty much the only divers at each of the sites. We had a great day- thank you so much :)

The staff was professional, competent and friendly. From the booking process to the dives itself, all was very convenient. Our captain and our Divemaster Jayr were teaching us also lots about the surrounding islands. Jayr had an eye on my newly OW certified boyfriend and looked out for any tiny and bigger creatures. They provided snacks and coffee/tea/water at our afternoon dives. Only thing to criticize - since they just moved to another location in town - was that there was no space to rinse the own gear or shower quickly after the dive.
All in all strongly recommended.

My girlfriend and I went diving and were helped wonderfully by JR and Rome. My girlfriend is not (yet) certified but I am. She did a discovery dive + fun dive while I did 2 fun dives.
Because we were the only ones they facilitated that we could do the second fun dive together. It was amazing that we could share our experience in this way.
JR helped my girlfriend wonderfully and although she was anxious at the start he managed to put her at ease and show her the basics. At the same time, Rome showed me a wonderful time with all his experience. A true deep water experience!

Fantastic team from the dive shop all the way to the boat. Mel and the team were very helpful in the shop, and were able to get us diving the next day. Our instructor JR was superb and helped us with our OW skills with no issue and was very friendly always. Highly recommend the company, great dive spots too!

planning to visit el nido ...
want to know, what is the price for PADI open water course ??
how many days will it take to complete ?
can i do the theory (e-learning) prior to my visit??
Written July 3, 2018
I did my PADI open water there, it was amazing. I did 3 days (1 day theory and 2 days diving) as I couldn’t do the e-learning and it cost 25,000 PHP and I got an extra 2 dives at the end with it aswell. If you didn’t want any extra dives it’s 22,000 I think. This is without e-learning not sure the price if you do the e-learning yourself.
Hope this helps!
