Unforgettable Experience – Max is the Dive Instructor You Want!

Published on May, 2025

If you’re considering getting PADI certified in Boracay, stop looking—Max is the instructor you need! I completed my Open Water PADI certification with him during my vacation, and it was hands-down one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Max is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but he also brings an energy and passion for diving that’s absolutely contagious. From the very first session, he made me feel confident, safe, and excited to learn. He has a calm, clear way of explaining everything, and he tailors the training to match your comfort level without ever making you feel rushed. What really stood out was how much Max cared about making the experience memorable, not just about ticking boxes for certification. He knew all the best dive spots around Boracay, gave great advice, and made each dive fun and unforgettable. By the end of it, I didn’t just feel like a certified diver—I felt like part of the diving community. If you’re even remotely curious about diving, trust me—go with Max. You’ll walk away with a PADI certification and memories that last a lifetime.

Incredible Freediving with Dom & Dive Gurus!

Published on Mar, 2025

I had an amazing freediving experience with Dive Gurus in Boracay! I did a 20m dive and a fun dive with freediving instructor Dom, who was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and cool. From the moment we started, I felt completely safe and well-guided. Dom provided excellent tips that helped me improve my technique and feel more confident in the water. The whole experience was well-organized, and the Dive Gurus team made everything smooth and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a top-notch freediving school in Boracay, this is the place to go! Highly recommended, and I will definitely come back for more dives in the future. Thank you, Dive Gurus, and a special shout-out to Dom for making it such a great experience!

Open water certification with Brian

I recently completed the Open Water Diver course with Brian at Dive Gurus Boracay, and it was an amazing experience! Brian's teaching style is clear, patient, and supportive, making me feel confident throughout the course. The dives were stunning, and the overall experience was well-organized and fun. I highly recommend this course with Brian—it's an unforgettable adventure!

First time divers

Published on Feb, 2024

Dive Gurus provided me with the lessons and training I needed for an Open water SSI diving certification. Ive always wanted to learn scuba and was recommended this spot to learn. Brian was a great instructor and was very knowledgeable at this craft. Got my first few dives under my belt and i'm looking forward to doing more and returning for an advanced cert! Thank you Dive Gurus!

Would Definitely Recommend this Dive Shop

Published on Feb, 2024

Before I was not interested in scuba at all because I disliked snorkeling and was scared to being underwater for too long. However our instructor, Brian, did a great job teaching us and adjusting the course to slowly make us more comfortable underwater. The taught us the required skills and patiently monitored us as we drilled them. After this course I very much enjoy scuba diving and it has made me a lot more confident being in and under water. Also everyone at the dive shop is very friendly. It's a great place to just hang out between or after dives
