The only positive to the fun dive we completed with Calypso was the well maintained new equipment, Other than that pretty poor service. We were off to a great start when they forgot to pack the wetsuit for my girlfriend when she made clear she was allergic to the jellyfish/sealice in the water. Once in water and down to the... More

First Impressions: National Geographic has ranked only a handful of dive centres around the world to represent them in training a new and improved recreational diver: the Nat Geo Diver. Calypso Diving School, already a 5* PADI IDC Dive Resort, is one of them. I've taken my Wreck Diving certification with them back in 2006 and, this time, for my... More

Excellent gear, great guide, fast speedboat, amazing soft corals! My boyfriend and I went to Seaworld Dive Center before this and it was terrible in comparison. Don't bother going anywhere else - these guys are the best.

I have been Informed that they have increased the level of safety (i hope) on their boats since our initial trip. Regardless of dive depth and everything else you NEED to have oxygen on your boat. Think about heart attacks and other non Bends dive situations. We have been informed that they have raised the level of safety but I... More

We came for two days' dive over Chinese New Year and had a great time diving in Boracay despite low expectations about the sites (the last time we'd dived was in Sipadan). We were impressed with Calypso's facilities and level of service from the very start, making it one of the best dive shops we've ever been - my experience... More
