Reviewed 9 December 2017

In November 2017 I was diving with New Wave Divers for 5 days during which I did, a Refresher Course, Advanced Open Water and last but not least Enriched Air course. I made my reservation well in advance (I always do) via Email. The communication was easy and helpful. Actually the manger/owner of the dive centre was located in the US at the time as far as I can tell. I spent all five days with dive instructor Igor and I also met other dive instructors all of them seem to be very nice. Igor is an experienced instructor, which was an important element which made this such a pleasant experience. I would definitely use this dive centre again if I get the chance to visit Boracay again.
The equipment is well maintained. The way it works at this dive centre is that the boat is returning back to the centre after every dive. There is about a 3 minute walk from the centre to the boat because there is a restricted section at the beach where boat can land.
There are many different dive spots around the island. The once I've seen were from 12 to 35m. Many just a few minutes board ride from the beach.

My husband and I had our first ever scuba experience with these guys and they took good care of us. Me especially. Our instructor Ashleigh looked after me the whole dive, as I was extremely nervous and didn’t take to it as naturally as my husband did. It was a great experience where we saw Nemo fish, Lion Fish and a whole bunch of other colourful beautiful fish. They also come up to you and just swim around you which is awesome. I did have a bit of a panic attack when I was first going down, which Ashleigh helped me through. So glad I did it and would highly recommend these guys.

I visited this center with my girlfriend. Honestly I little bit worry to try getting open water license as she afraid a deep water little bit.
BUT we met ANDY who is best instructor ever!!!
I have to admire his teaching skill!! Although she is not 100% feel free to communicate English, he teach with very much understandable English.
So that, she successfully done to OWL. I strongly hope we will back to NEW WAVE DIVE CENTER to dive with ANDY!!!

Cheers!
