The Calipso diving center was the perfect entry into the diving world for us. We started with scuba diving and then opted for the Open Water license. Our teacher Otaner taught us the contents in a targeted but also with fun, he was also able to overcome language barriers on our side and teach us everything. He is a caring trainer where you can take the time you need, and also mentally support and build yourself up. We are very happy to have made our diving license in this special place. Huge thanks to the Calypso team

I recently completed my Open Water diving certification with Calypso Dive Center in Boracay on April 27th and 28th, 2023. My instructor, Renato, made me feel comfortable and provided thorough explanations during the training sessions held in the pool.

On the first day of diving, we explored two different sites, Sinagpa Reef and Angol Point, where I was fortunate to see three turtles and approach a fishing net with tunas. We were able to see many fish that can be found in the sea of Asia. I enjoyed these dives tremendously.

The second day of diving was a true test of the skills I learned from Renato as we dove at the challenging spots of Crocodile Island and Lobster Rock. It was a fantastic experience, and I was grateful for Renato's expert guidance.

I want to thank the entire team at Calypso Dive Center for their professionalism and kindness during my stay. In particular, I want to express my gratitude to Chassi, the Dive Master, who played a significant role in making my diving experience unforgettable.

I am already looking forward to returning to Calypso Dive Center in early August to complete my Advanced certification. Thank you again for an incredible experience!

When diving in Boracay, this is the place to go. Ask for Chassy to be your divemaster. She is incredibly professional and knowledgeable. She took care of us like I have never experienced anywhere. I’m a PADI DM for over 30 yrs. and my dive buddy also with many years of experience. I will definitely go back and dive with Chassy.

Amazing experience. Didn't dive for years. My instructor Renato gave me a refresher and got me started on my certification. I had some difficulties and Renato was super patient and worked with me until the end.

The sites we went to were incredible. The boat crew was helpful in every step of the way. Safety and proper instruction always too priority and got my advanced certification in 2 days.

If you're looking to dive in Boracay, this place won't let you down.

We recently completed our Advanced Open Water certification, and it was an incredible experience.
Harry , our instructor, was highly knowledgeable, friendly, kind, trustworthy and patient, and he made sure that we were well prepared & stress free for each dive.

It has been more than a year since my last dive, so I was a little anxious but excited to do my advanced open water. Harry adjusted the planning of each dive in such way that I would gain confidence, be relax and enjoy it!

We (husband & I) have our advanced open water and ready to continue exploring the life under the sea!
Bedankt!!!
Muchas gracias!!!
Thank you Harry!!!

The dive sites were absolutely amazing, and we saw some truly incredible marine life.

Highly recommend it!

Due to typhoon Paeng I wasn’t able to finish my full Open water diver course in one time but kept in touch with one of the dive instructors, Renato, to plan a new date to finish the course. The way he trained made me feel very safe and confident about my newly learned skills! Definitely recommend this dive school, especially Renato!
Will definitely be coming back here..
