Our reviews

Read through what our students and guests has to say specifically about our courses.

It was an amazing experience and really fun to do the Open Water course withe Dive Funatics. Our dive instructor Jojo teaches us, with his 37 years experience, within 2 days all the safety procedures and skills to become a certified open water diver… The atmosphere is very relaxed and Darwin and Jojo are great guys. If you want to start diving these guys are highly recommended. Cheers Mounir and Peter

I did my Open Water and Advanced Open Water certifications with Dive Funatics and it was an amazing experience. My instructors King and Rikka were always gave clear explanations and made sure we both were safe and had tons of fun while diving. They always took care of me and I’m really grateful for that. Thank you both!

02:07 30 Oct 18

I honestly can not recommend these guys enough. I did my dive master internship with them and had the best experience of my life. They make you feel part of the team and are friendliest group of people I’ve ever met. My training was also way better than I expected, the instructors are very thorough and instantly made me feel comfortable and helped me enjoy my experience to the fullest. If anyone is looking to dive in Asia I highly suggest you use this company you will not be disappointed. Thanks again dive funatics!!!

I decided to do my Advanced open water with dive funatics and I really enjoyed my time with them. Will definitely use them again when I go to Cebu

Perfect! I did my open water and advanced open water course with dive funatics. Since the theoretical part is online, I could finish it before I got there and it only took me 4 more days to get my licences (usually it would be 5-6). I have done some fin dives with different schools now which only strenghtens my opinion about Dive funatics. They let me dive with a computer without making a big thing about it whereas in other schools you have to rent it. Additionally you dont start in a boring pool. On my first ever dive we went in from the shore which offers a way more realistic view but still has a pool-like feel, so no current or anything.Last but not least I must say that I not only got my licence but felt like part of the team as well. Jojo is probably the funniest and most passionate dive instructor or master I had so far. Darwin also is very patient and makes sure you understand every part of diving.I will definitely come back and I have been recommending this dive shop to everyone I met.

02:57 21 May 18

My first diving trip to Cebu and engaged Dive Funatics. I had a great and fun dive experience with Darwin, Rikka and JoJo. They are not business mind set but very caring and concern to me and my dive buddies. My next diving trip to Cebu will definitely look for them again.

08:26 02 May 18

Been to numerous dive centre for dives and course and dive funatics is the only dive centre that do not make me feel “commercialised”. Darwin and team were very accommodating to me and my friends and we had a lot of fun. Definitely will be going there again for my courses and dives.

06:56 02 May 18

A great bunch of instructors who tirelessly taught us the basics of rescue. When we had difficulties with our slightly unique BCD, everyone gave ideas enthusiastically and we had a fruitful session in the end. Now we are rescue and a bit more because we know how to deal with jacket BCDs (chicken feet) and the non-conventional type that has harness. Thank you Darwin, Rikka, Jojo, Christina!

00:07 01 May 18

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.

03:40 08 Mar 18

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!

10:52 20 Nov 17

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!

13:40 05 Nov 17

The best PADI dive certification company you can choose. Darwin and his team have your best interest at heart. Everything is fun and most importantly you feel so safe!

18:10 03 Nov 17

I wouldn’t wish it to go anywhere else. The instructors were great, made the experience more fun. DIVE FUNATICS I would recommend to anyone who wants to try diving.

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!

08:59 12 Oct 17

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!

03:19 06 Oct 17

Super easy booking! Quick contact from Darwin and easy to use site, phone friendly too!

05:17 25 Sep 17

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.

15:35 26 Aug 17

Passionate and friendly instructor. Precise briefing and wonderful diving experience. Recommend everyone to get their license here.

16:03 25 Aug 17

“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” ??

14:53 23 Aug 17

This was our first open water dive, the experience was indescribable. The instructor and assistant instructors were so friendly and accommodating. They helped us throughout the experience. me and my girlfriend had so much fun and we will definitely be going back for more!

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!

01:53 27 Feb 17

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.

One of the best dive shops I have ever used in my travels around the world

2019-04-09T17:28:55+0000

5 starsMe and my girlfriend, Ceci, did our Open Water certification with DiveFunatics and the choice couldn’t be better. The DM Jojo was very good, patient and always happy and smiling. This helped us to feel very comfortable. Thanks also to Kae that joined us for the last dive to shoot pictures and video, nice and fun. The organization was perfect and the management very helpful providing all the info we needed by mail before join the course. Moreover, they provide very good price rates for the content of the courses. I would surely recommend to whoever wants to approach scuba diving and enjoy the incredible experience of the big blue. Thanks guys to realize a dream!

2018-12-08T10:11:06+0000

Highly recommend Dive Funatics. Myself and my girlfriend completed our PADI open water with them and our instructor Joe was awesome! The course was also the best price in Cebu, and if you do the online training before you book your dives it only takes two days to complete. This can all be booked through their website.

2018-11-24T09:17:33+0000

Three thumbs up for this great crew!

2018-11-17T14:41:09+0000

5 star dive funatics!!!!!

2018-08-17T14:42:29+0000

Highly recommend diving with them. King and Darwin make you feel welcome and teach you all you need to know. They are very professional and have everything you need to dive. I took basic,advanced open water PADI and deep diving with nitrox specialty. It was awesome.

2018-08-09T05:07:40+0000

it was awesome side mount dive!!

2018-07-30T06:25:30+0000

Made me feel safe whilst enjoying the colourful underwater scenery of Cebu. Had a fantastic time doing a DSD I came back the next day for some more diving.

2018-06-28T12:15:55+0000

Finally deciding to go for a diving course, my best friend saw this company online and found great packages for the open water and advanced open water courses. Being skeptical people, we asked numerous questions before booking and Darwin was very accommodating and answered all questions. Also assured us of our safety and that we would enjoy the course. Location seems lacking above water but below there is flourishing marine life and good terrain for training. I enjoyed the course very much! and was able to gain ample amount of knowledge and skills from the team for my future dives! Would gladly recommend Dive Funatics to family and friends :) Thank you so much for time well spent! ‘Til next time!

2018-06-24T13:47:11+0000

Thank you Dive Funatics (Darwin, Jojo and Kenneth) for your patience and understanding! �Inspiring, relaxing and fun! :)Go for it! �

2018-06-22T13:24:40+0000

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!

2018-04-12T16:46:08+0000

It has been a wonderful and fruitful two days dive with DM Jojo… Everyone in Dive funatics are helpful, friendly and efficient.. everything went smoothly from pre booking of dives to the end of our dives.. Darwin and Kae have been great help with registrations.. will definitely come back for more course and dives.. thank you once again!

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!
