I did my PADI Open Water and then the Advanced Open Water combined and Dive Funatics were simply amazing! I did the theory part of the course online before I got there which in hindsight is a great idea as scuba diving really takes it out of you when you're learning so not having to study after your lessons is great, you just get to relax. The dive area is right by when you set up (like 5 steps into to the water) so there's no long walk with all your gear before you get into the water. I had Jo Jo as my instructor and he was great, extremely experienced (found out he'd be diving longer than I've been on this earth!) and has been all over the world. He made the classes fun with his humour and made it all very relaxing and easy to learn. The team I met (Jo Jo, Darwin & Kenneth) were all very nice and extremely helpful. If you're planning on learning to Scuba Dive in Cebu I highly recommend Dive Funatics.

Excellent Instructing from Earl of Dive Funatics, Had a great two days learning. Booking process was very easy via Paypal, all corresponding emails were answered very quickly and I met a lot of very nice people in the process. Thanks Dive Funatics for a great experience!

Excellent service and teaching. My wife and I were able to find out everything we needed before arrival and finished the open water course with tight schedule under superb guidance of coach Earl. Accommodation was also finely arranged to be so close to training site. Highly recommend those who have no diving experience to go with Dive Funatics!

My friends and I had a great experience with Dive Funatics for our Open Water Diver Certification course! The course was two days long, with online self-study required before arriving. Earl and JoJo were our instructors for a group of 4 and they were fabulous! Experienced and patient instructors, they helped even the most nervous of us feel at ease and competent under water. Dive Funatics includes all course materials in the cost - all we had to do was show up with our swim suits and a change of clothes. Darwin, who manages the administrative tasks was extremely responsive to our inquiries and pro-active in making sure we had everything we needed before we arrived. All in all, it was fabulous value, great instructor:student ratio with experienced instructors, and opened up a whole new world for us! We had a seamless experience and unanimously agree that we'd all be happy to come back again! Thanks Dive Funatics team for a great time!

I had a wonderful experience in Dive Funatics! I took the Open Water Course with my group of 4 friends. We are assigned two instructors for two people. We could get a systemic well scheduled lessons from very experienced instructors. Even though I am the person who is afraid of water, I could successfully enjoy the whole process thanks to our instructors. Thank you so much. I hope to take advanced course with them next time!

The best training provider in Cebu so far when it comes to specialty dive courses. Shout out to Mr. Darwin Bawasanta, our head facilitator, for being so patient to all our demands and for being very understanding all throughout the process and who gave all his effort for the training to materialize. Mind you, it is not easy to find a facilitator who can give in to all demands and who will help you from the start (proposal) up to the very last day that the training has been successfully done. Definitely, we are Dive Funatics Fanatics!!! =)

I've been looking for a small but professional local dive shop in Mactan Island, and found Dive Funatics. I visited to talk to one the their instructos about my plan to get advanced open water and recue diver license. He sounded professional, so I tried one day fun dives with this team. I had a really good time diving so I finally dicided to join this team by have tranining for Advanced Open Water. I just finished AWO the day before yesterday. They provided very affordable and professional training, so I will futher dive with them and get more training. I like this dive team much.

"its been a very exciting journey. Throughout the course, the staffs were very friendly and thoughtful. Also, they are very professional as far as giving us some experience talks and techniques to get us up to speed. I would say this was overall a very pleasant and unique experience. I'd like to recommend this diving course to all the new-comers like myself xoxo" 👄👅

There is only one thing I can say about Dive Funatics, this team is beyond awesome. They treat you as a friend never a customer. I have been diving with them three times (and counting) already , I like diving with them because they are very organized, professional and most of all respect diversity. Thank you so much Dive Funatics and looking forward for more fun diving with you guys soon. Keep up the good works and keep up the dives!

Divefunatics is my first love. They have shaped me into the diver that I am now. No matter who or what center I dive with, #divefunatics is always on top of my credits. It's just natural to never forget what your first dive was like and the people who made it sure you had the best first dive ever. Having taken both OW and Advanced OW courses with them has not taken away that feeling. Every dive is still like the first, the only difference is the confidence they have built in me. Every dive is still like the first--euphoric, refreshing, invigorating... the moment I break the surface, it feels like being born again. Only Divefunatics could have hardwired that into me. I look forward to advancing my status with them this year, and you should, too.

Without knowing my friend, Rikka, is directly associated with this center, I went there with my best friend to join her for a fun dive. The location is easy to find, the person who welcomed us (Jojo) was very jolly and the DMs who dived with us (Kenneth & Jeremy) were very accommodating. My first dive was very pressuring (but still fun) but my 2 dives with these guys were just equally exhilarating and amazing! I am sooo looking forward to getting certified (via Rikka, of course!) for OW soon! Thank you, DF! To more dives with you!

If you're reading this because you're trying to decide whether to book a PADI course with Dive Funatics, stop reading and go book it right now. I booked the Open Water Gold package, which included a complimentary Advanced Open Water course. While they're probably not the cheapest dive shop in Cebu, honestly price is my last consideration when deciding where to do something as potentially dangerous as diving. You want attentive, safety oriented instructors, and on that front Dive Funatics delivers in spades. Even before I turned up, Darwin answered all my emails quickly and thoroughly at any time of day. When I had concerns that I wouldn't be able to perform some of the practical skills required, he really put my mind at ease. As well as Darwin, I was lucky enough to be taught by two other instructors during my time there - JoJo and Earl. All three have a fun and friendly attitude that belies their razor-sharp attention to detail. Despite my nerves, I always felt very safe. When I saw other students struggling with some of the tasks, they assigned additional instructors to help, even if it was three instructors to one student - rather than some dive shops who just take your money, at Dive Funatics they really want you to succeed. I won't go into all of the highlights - there are so many - but the most memorable time was the Night Dive portion of the Advanced course. Earl pointed out beautiful bioluminescent jellyfish, squid and shrimp that I otherwise would have missed. I will always remember it. In summary: I am so glad that I chose to learn with Dive Funatics. I miss them already, and I am counting the days till my return.

I can’t say enough good things about Darwin and his staff. They go above and beyond to make sure you have the best dive experience and enjoy your travels. They will go out of their way to show you amazing parts of town and even take you on trips out of town. Darwin helped my boyfriend and I feel completely comfortable taking different courses, working with our schedules and treating us to VIP services all over Cebu-Mactan, and Moalboal. Our trip wouldn’t be nearly as memorable without Darwin and we are so appreciative. Also I never write reviews so this is really saying a lot! Choose Dive Funatics, you really will have FUN!
