If you prefer macrolife, you can see most creatures on an experienced divers list, or you can get down and dirty in WWII wrecks and immerse yourself in the history that surrounds them. « less

Myself and my Partner have just returned from our well earned diving holiday in the Phillipines with Evolution Diving on Malapascua island. Can’t recommend it enough! Once we had decided on a holiday, we then had to work out where we were going – we knew we wanted sun and diving. As we both dive on rebreathers, we also needed... More

We had a wonderful time at Malapascua! We were at Evolution for 1 week. If I would rate the rooms, I would give a 4. If I would rate the diving and the service for the diving, I would rate it a 10. They have simple accommodations, but we are ok with that. We were there specifically to dive. We... More

Stayed here for 5 nights in April 2012, and had a great time. Staff are knowledgable and friendly, the place is small scale with 4 rooms, of which two with aircon, on the premises. The bar/restaurant has wonderful food, a daily changng menue, and friendly staff as well. Fully recommendable! More

My wife and I stayed and dived with Evolution (they have four rooms on site) for 10 days. We contacted Evolution via e-mail during the planning stage of the trip. They were always prompt in their response and could answer all our questions - I like that. They arranged the transfer from Cebu airport for us and this worked well... More

A truly scenic setting for taking any dive course or just lazing it on the beach. I spent a week here with my girlfriend, but could easily have spent another. You have a bounty beach, really good diving (not only Thresher sharks), hands down the best food on the island and a very relaxed resort with good (and fairly cheap)... More

The folks at Evolution really know their stuff; whether you're into tech diving and want to advance your skills or you're just after a fun dive to see the threshers. Safety is always foremost but never detracts from the enjoyment. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the communication amongst them is top-notch. They are always on top of... More

I chose to dive with Evolution on recommendation from my friend. I am very glad I did too. Can't give them enough praise! A very well run, professional dive shop who take their diving very seriously and go out of their way to look after their customers. I was renting dive gear and was extremely pleased with the equipment I... More

We did not have a very pleasant experience diving with Evolution. It seems the owners got greedy with all the divers coming (because of all the great reviews?) and try to bring more divers out then they can properly equip. I was the last diver to sign up for the dives next day and the last diver to try out... More

The reviews say it all. Take the time to talk to Matt, David, the staff, other guests, and islanders. They all have interesting stories to tell. More
