I was walking along the white beach finding a suitable dive center for my sister's Discovery Scuba Dive. Ryan and Nathan did an excellent job in providing the details and assure customers of their safety and top quality services. Ended up we decided to choose New Wave instead of other dive centers. My sister had fun with them and ended up intending to even take up open water course in future. Great job and i would strongly recommend New Wave.

I spent 5 days including my Advanced Open Water course with them.
My instructor for the course, Ryan was quite patient and skilful and kept telling me all what I needed to pay attention to under the water. Both Ryan and Thomas are quite professional and they love diving as a diver. They understood that I enjoy macro photography and found out quite a lot of macro creature for me.
I’m always a solo diver and have dived with some different dive service. Some have a large boat where several groups of different nationalities join and conversation in between does not occur much. But on the New Wave Divers’s boat, we had a family like atmosphere and I enjoyed exchanging diving experiences with people from different countries.
I also appreciated a Japanese instructor, Tachi-san was in their group. (I am a Japanese too.) He is quite caring person and I enjoyed his 13 yrs story in Boracay.
I had a chance to be a buddy with Nathan, the owner of the service. I found he has a great enthusiasm to scuba diving, which is probably one of the reasons to make his team great.
I liked the captain, Harry said “good morning” in Japanese to me every morning. He is a very friendly person and his team was quite supportive all the time as well.
Worthwhile to dive with them, if you truly enjoy scuba diving.

My partner and I did our Advence and a Fun Dive in this center. We highly recommend them for filling all of requests that a perfect diving center need and for much more !! Except of the diving, they can propose a transfert from the airport to the hotel, organised a private boat trip AND they can also make a reservation in a incredible Italian restaurant !! The only regret that I have, is not asking what they can do more ?! Thanks to Guillaume and Marge. <3
We dived with Patrice who was for sure the best instructor we ever had. He always puts our safety first, always listening and a person which it was nice to talk with. There are more instructors and I'm sure with the same qualities. I wish all the best and success for the center they deserve it ! <3
Kinds regards,
Lorena

It is very important that we choose a decent dive shop that offers courses with lessons provided by diving professionals with requisite diving experience and maximum enthusiasm and New Wave Divers Boracay never failed to deliver.
I commend the entire crew, the owners Marge and Guillaume were very friendly and accommodating, the instructors Pat and Igor who were on top of their game, always safety first!
The dive shop is well kept and maintained, complete with all the gears and equipment necessary. The crew were able to answer all queries from the beginning while i was signing up for my online PADI account and completing my e-learnings for my first DSD experience.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, bad weather and things in between, my first diving experience may not have gone as expected and although I was disappointed, I recognized that my fear and anxiety underwater played a role in that experience. My instructor Pat made sure that i always feel safe and made it very easy to trust him the moment I was underwater. I had challenges but he never invalidated how I felt and that was much appreciated.
I know I would be able to sail through this, patience is a virtue. I am excited for my next dive and I’ll still choose New Wave Divers Boracay!
Thank You team.

Beautiful waters, colourful reef, still very diverse creatures from nudibrancts to sea snakes.
As for New Wave, they showed us outstanding service, brand new and well-maintained gear, talented dive masters who are very upbeat and energetic. A definite must for enthusiast and advanced open water divers.

Being a semi-local on the island, and knowing a lot of people from all around places here, specialy in the scuba diving community, I must say the most that had the most fun was when I met the people from New Wave Divers. Just because for the simple reason that they are genuinely great and fun to be with. I experienced diving before and was already and achievement for me... but having to explore the deep and hang out with such great people was a priveledge. Hands up to the diver at New Wave!!! 🙏

It was my first time to dive and all I can say is that I'm glad I did it with New Wave Divers Boracay. I really felt safe and the secure. The instructor, dive masters and staff were all so nice. They really encouraged me to conquer my fear of the water. Highly recommended! I will definitely dive with them again when I go back to Boracay. And you should too. 😎👌

Easy and clear communication. Marge, the owner was very accomodating. Dive master Rowell was very professional and friendly. We were constantly informed and followed up when is the best day to dive as the weather the whole week was not ideal and safe for diving. My daughter’s first diving experience was something she won’t forget. She really enjoyed. Thank you to the whole team from New wave divers Boracay. Keep it up! - Bedankt from Moors Family from The Netherlands 🇳🇱

I can’t speak highly enough of New Wave Divers. They made getting my Open Water an easy process from start to finish. Filip and Julia were amazing instructors that were patient and understanding with everyone’s pace of learning. They made what could be an overwhelming experience just so much fun! They have the best attitude and love what they do, it made this course so much more enjoyable!

Hi! I would be in Boracay from 14th to 19th April. I along with my wife were interested in doing scuba diving and as this would be our first experience, could you please let me know the procedure.
Written April 2, 2018
I would recommend to drop them an email to check availabilities. They definitely have good instructors for a first time experience. When I was there there was also a family which was just walking in and then arranged the dive course for the following day. But I am a person who prefers to plan things a bit ahead, hence the initial recommendation to establish contact beforehand.
New Wave Divers is a small shop from the outside, but they have a lot to offer from the inside. I hope you enjoy your dives.

Hi, I'll be visiting Boracay from 10th till 13th April. I'm interested in scuba diving. I have two questions -
1. Can I dive if I don't know how to swim?
2. Can I dive without any prior certification or scuba experience?
I did snorkeling at Koh Samui island in Thailand and that's the best water activity i did. Very much interested to explore the under water world. Would be great to hear back.
Thanks,
Sayma

Thank you for contacting us
What do you wish to do?
1. PADI Discover scuba diving 3 hours no certification 3000 php per person
2. Scuba Diver 2 days traditional 15000 php per person or 1 day with online classroom completed before you arrive certification with PADI 12,000 php per person plus 169 usd to PADI
3. Open Water 3-4 days 22000 php per person total or 2 days with online classroom completed prior to arrival 19500 php per person and 169 usd to PADI
You do not need to know how to swim to scuba dive
#1 question we get is "We are not the best swimmers or no swimming at all, can we still do the discover scuba diving experience and/or the Open water course?"
Yes of course, we have certified non -swimmers many times. The BCD you will be wearing is similar to a floatation device and your instructor will always be with you to teach you how to use this. Bear in mind that swimming underwater is very different to staying afloat.
Written March 31, 2017
You can do the Discover scuba diving adventure For this PADI non-certification program you will learn key safety information without spending hours in the classroom. During the 2-4 hour programme, which will be guided by your instructor, you will have a SCUBA briefing and become acquainted with the wonderful underwater world at a maximum depth of 12 meters.
Although the PADI Discover Scuba Diving does not result in a certification, if you let us know that you may be interested in continuing your PADI education, we can arrange to conduct your DSD in a way which will allow you to credit your time and money towards either the PADI Scuba Diver Course or the PADI Open Water Diver Course.
