"As for me who has no experience nor knowledge about scuba diving, Kuya Manuel really explained well the basics of it flawlessly and he doesn’t hesitate to share some of his experiences in relation to the topics being discussed. The whole duration of the diving was excellent, I didn’t experienced any problems as we have guided well by their staff and always check on us every time. Price is also very cheap and for its price, you can’t go wrong with Scubanations. I really recommend this place for those first-timers who want to explore the beauty of Puerto Galera thru scuba diving."

"Great ! There are many diving clubs so it's not easy to choose and especially not to fall into a factory with large groups. And luckily, we found this address and its super nice owner. The prices are clear (1400 php per fun dive, no hidden costs such as adding equipment like others do here), the welcome is very friendly, the equipment is of great quality and safety is essential. Instead, the water is super clear and the marine life is abundant and colorful. This was our last dive in this beautiful country and it is a great achievement to have done it here. Too bad we didn't have time to do 2 dives that day to explore the bay because there are many spots!"

"My friend and I each did five dives here. The price is absolutely affordable and we don't have to join the group. The schedule is also very flexible If you want to see something or have special needs we can discuss it. The instructor will also adjust our dive sites according to the wave conditions and try our best to give us the best experience and see the most things. In addition, he also helped us recommend the surrounding attractions as well as his trustworthy driver who took us to a secluded beach."

"The shop is small but nice. What was very positive was that Manuel was always ready to adapt to the situation, and even if we had agreed something in the evening but arrived in the morning with new plans, we were able to organize the dives flexibly. Manuel arranged the dives so that they best suited our expectations, e.g. with locals who could see every square centimeter with eagle eyes and ensure good pictures. In terms of equipment, the dive shop is not as well equipped as the largest on the island, but it can accommodate 6-7 divers relatively easily, and from what we hear there are plans to accommodate more people in the near future."

"My three friends and I spent a week diving at Scubacations Dive Resort, where we completed approximately 30 dives in total. The prices at Scubacations are undoubtedly the most competitive in town. Manuel, serving as our Dive Master, engaged in extensive and effective communication with us, providing valuable advice throughout the entire process, making our experience highly enjoyable. We visited nearly all the worthwhile dive sites in PG, including Verdi Island. I highly recommend Manuel and Bunny as your diving guides in PG."

"From the moment I stepped into their facility, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. The dive instructors exuded friendliness and competence, instantly making me feel at home in their company. Safety was clearly a top priority for them, as I felt completely secure throughout my dives. Their thorough briefings and attentive guidance reassured me every step of the way. Not only did they ensure our safety, but they also went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable experience underwater. One aspect that truly impressed me was their dedication to ensuring we encountered the marine life we were hoping to see. The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable about the local ecosystem and offered valuable insights and recommendations. Furthermore, I found their pricing to be very reasonable, especially considering the exceptional service and experience they provided. It's evident that they genuinely care about their customers' satisfaction and strive to offer great value for their services. Overall, my experience with Scubacations was nothing short of exceptional. The dive instructors not only provided top-notch guidance but also made me feel like part of their dive community, creating a home-away-from-home atmosphere that enhanced the overall experience. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a safe, enjoyable, and memorable diving experience. I look forward to diving with them again in the future!"

"From the moment you went inside the diveshop you see and feel how compassionate every person in the shop is for diving, from shop employee, dive masters, instructors and the owner! As soon as you do the dives you feel safe and you're part of this family and they make sure your having the best experiences on the dive trips! After a couple of dives I decided to do my rescue diver certification with instructor Gao SR (his son is also an instructor but at that moment on another island). This was one of the best courses I did and the level of this instructor is great and i think he can teach every person what they want just because of the way he gives you trust in your capabilities! I’m sure I go back to Puerto Galera and for sure dive with Scubacations, better sooner than later! Thanks for everything, all of you!!"

"With Scubacations, you are at the best diving school in Sabang! We started there with the Open Water Diver and were supported in every way by the entire crew! Both the dive times and the dive spots are tailored to the customer, so that you can have the best possible diving experience. Because we enjoyed learning to dive with Scubacations so much, we even added the Advanced Open Water Diver on top. The dive instructors are the best in Sabang and they are incredibly patient and responsive to every need. An all-around unforgettable experience! Thanks to the entire crew!"

"Very good dive resort in Puerto Galera. Dive Instructor Gao and Dive Master Miki really taking care of us when diving around Puerto Galera and Verde Island. Just tell them if you want to see some Macros, such like pigmy seahorse and nudibranches. They will help you to arrange a dive to the best spots you can find them. Dive package also very affordable. I highly recommend this dive shop for your visit to Puerto Galera"
