I have just returned from the Philippines having completed two diving courses at Calypso Diving. I must report that the whole process was a great experience and Calypso and my instructor Leo did a fantastic job. I initially completed the Open Water Course and then booked to do the Advanced Open Water course, I could only complete three dives before... More

It says March 2012 but this is a long overdue review from March 2010. With the numerous dive shops on the island it was hard to know which to go with. I spent the first couple of nights running into different dive shop instructors/owners at some of the bars. They all pitched a great sale for me to dive with... More

I went on two fun dives with Calypso in April 2012. The staff here are very helpful about the different dive sites. The whole process was professional and easy. Facilities are clean and well organised. Prices were a bit higher than some other places but only a little bit. Highly recommended. More

I did a Discover Scuba 1 day with them 1.5 years ago. I was highly impressed with Calypso then so there really wasn't any other choices when we went back. To my surprise, Jade was our instructor (he was my dive master on my Discover Scuba dive). With me was my 12 yo and 10 yo girls. Jade was patient... More

Overall, experience is okay with them. The equipment is updated and all seems fine, the location is right on the beach with a pool. Staff are good at what they do, but the prices they charge, which are higher than any other dive shop we contacted on Boracay do NOT warrant using them. They do not exceed other dive shops... More

Went on a fun dive with his place and had a great time. Good boat, good equipment, good divemaster and good diving. Glad a went with this dive shop despite the many MANY options along the beach. The bar & restaurant serves great food as well! More

I did my Open Water more than a year ago and wanted to do a refresher before putting all the gear up and getting into open water. There is a huge number of dive shops on the islands and a for a beginner like me, it was a very difficult decision to make where to go: some place were too... More

I did the Discover Diving half day beginner's course with three friends. I couldn't decide whether I wanted to dive for our entire stay in Boracay and decided to do this at the last minute - so glad I did! I was VERY nervous about it, but Rainier (sp?), our guide, was so professional, relaxed, and patient that by the... More

Highly recommend Calypso for their scuba diving course even though they are pricier than others we found that are similar on the island. We enrolled our two teenage kids in their 5 day course and they booked us with a private teacher so we felt very safe leaving them at their hands. The all inclusive package allows them to do... More
