Not impressed with this centre. They told us 3 times that the sites would all be good for snorkelling - they were bad. Dead coral, not many fish, sand and rocks for 2 of the sites. The last site we could not even snorkel because the current was strong and the waves were choppy, and also too deep to see anything. We were taken to Nat Nat, Paradise beach and Helicopter island - I wouldn't recommend any of these for snorkelling. I talked to them when I returned to explain and they didn't seem to care much, they laughed about it to each other and then only gave me 200 pesos off (snorkelling cost 1000). Maybe it is better for scuba diving and the coral is less dead when going deeper underwater, but I wouldn't recommend snorkelling here at all. The equipment was also old and a bit broken. The lunch was good, but I wish I had gone snorkelling with another centre.

I had lots of good time to make 3 dives with this company. Divemasters and staff was very professional, food was great and diving places amazing. We see lots of fish, turtle and other things :) - Oskari 🇫🇮

We did 3 dives with Aqunaut and had concerns about their equipment and safety. We were given ripped wetsuits, broken goggles and fins that were too large and came off in the water multiple times. We were told our equipment was checked and on the boat, asked to check it and told no need - then when we went down my husbands regulator was broken.. he asked to go up but the dive master switched him to his secondary air source and he did the dive with that.. it didn’t feel good!
Lunch was good! Dives were beautiful but 2x couples completing their open water so this affected the locations..

Obtained my PADI OPEN WATER certification at Aquanaut dive center!
It was a very nice experience. The course was professional and well structured. A special thanks to my instructor Mathieu Giraud (sorry if I misspell Your last name ;)). You really took your time to explain everything clearly. Putting your safety and mine first before all. I’ve never felt unsafe, and you made me fall in love with diving! Best of luck to you and the Aquanaut team

How can I explain this DIve center in few worlds...? I can't!
When I came in php for the first time, I went to Aquanaut Dive enter and did my Open Water....the crew was so amazing that I decided to stay in order to become a Divemaster and I success!
I success because the crew is amazingly kind, helpful, well organized, with many boats, tagalog, english, spanish and french speakers, everythng is good there!
3 dives a day, an epic meal on board between the second and third dive, and at the end of the day a cold baverage at the safety stop!
Thanks again for everything, I'll continue to send people to your dive center!
