Unforgettable Experience – Max is the Dive Instructor You Want! - If you’re considering getting PADI certified in Boracay, stop looking—Max is the instructor you need! I completed my Open Water PADI certification with him during my vacation, and it was hands-down one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Max is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but he also brings an energy and passion for diving that’s absolutely contagious. From the very first session, he made me feel confident, safe, and excited to learn. He has a calm, clear way of explaining everything, and he tailors the training to match your comfort level without ever making you feel rushed. What really stood out was how much Max cared about making the experience memorable, not just about ticking boxes for certification. He knew all the best dive spots around Boracay, gave great advice, and made each dive fun and unforgettable. By the end of it, I didn’t just feel like a certified diver—I felt like part of the diving community. If you’re even remotely curious about diving, trust me—go with Max. You’ll walk away with a PADI certification and memories that last a lifetime.

Incredible Freediving with Dom & Dive Gurus! - I had an amazing freediving experience with Dive Gurus in Boracay! I did a 20m dive and a fun dive with freediving instructor Dom, who was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and cool. From the moment we started, I felt completely safe and well-guided. Dom provided excellent tips that helped me improve my technique and feel more confident in the water. The whole experience was well-organized, and the Dive Gurus team made everything smooth and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a top-notch freediving school in Boracay, this is the place to go! Highly recommended, and I will definitely come back for more dives in the future. Thank you, Dive Gurus, and a special shout-out to Dom for making it such a great experience!

Get certified here - Had the most amazing experience with my instructor Karlo! He is a great teacher (patient, encouraging and funny). Signing up to take a class is like signing up to be a part of their family for a few days as well 🥳. The free coffee and tea was helpful and they also sell food and drinks (super convenient after your dive). I felt safe through all my dives and the equipment was included in the total fee (no hidden fees). I highly recommend them!

Would Definitely Recommend this Dive Shop - Before I was not interested in scuba at all because I disliked snorkeling and was scared to being underwater for too long. However our instructor, Brian, did a great job teaching us and adjusting the course to slowly make us more comfortable underwater. The taught us the required skills and patiently monitored us as we drilled them. After this course I very much enjoy scuba diving and it has made me a lot more confident being in and under water. Also everyone at the dive shop is very friendly. It's a great place to just hang out between or after dives

Amazing diving experience - Our diving instructor, Andrew Gritzka was amazing. He was very informative, patient, helpful and easy to understand. He made us feel comfortable and safe in a new environment which is diving. Took us on great dives with great photos for memories. We successfully passed our open water certification with his excellent service. Highly recommended!

Dive only with dive professional! - A friend recommended Divegurus for me. They are professional and take care of their students well. I had fear doing the mask removal as part of the training but they help me overcome it. From Try Scuba to Divemaster, I did it with them. Once you started and overcome your fears, it will be your addiction. Under water world is beautiful and you don’t like to stop exploring. Thanks to my Instructor Jojo and to all my dive buddies. ❤️❤️❤️

My Heart and Home in Boracay 🩷❤️ - I have been to Boracay countless times, but it is only in DiveGurus that I feel so at home. The staff are warm and friendly, the rooms are clean and the dining experience is great! The prices of the rooms are reasonable for the services you get. On top of that, DiveGurus is beachfront at Station 3 with just the perfect lighting for all your photos. My selfies are always good at the receiving area (just a tip 😊) . If you are a diver, then this is the place to be. The instructors are amazing and very professional. I took my openwater course and Advanced Adventurer here. Their eauipment are new and well maintained. I highly recommend this place. I keep coming back and it never fails me.
