I had a great time at Azure on land and underwater. I was there off season and was the only overnight guest all week. The restaurant stayed busy though, with local guests coming in for meals and parties. A full hot breakfast was included in the room price and I often had lunch and dinner there, too. It's a little far to town, but the staff arranged a tuk tuk for just a few dollars whenever I wanted to go.
My room was comfortable, with strong AC, Plenty of electric outlets so I could charge all my dive equipment each night. Water pressure was a bit anemic, but the shower was hot.
The diving was quite good, even off season. I travel a lot to dive, so I'm pretty picky. I did 15 dives there. I never dove with more than 2 other divers and Ricky, the guide. Ricky knows where every creature in Dauin can be found. All the dive sites were just a few minutes away, maybe 5 minutes or less. Conditions were very good, almost no current, most dives were 50-60 feet, visibility was okay, maybe 40-50 feet, but it was offseason. Dauin is famous for muck diving, so many dives were over volcanic sand, but the crazy marine life is why you go there. There are also some really great reefs mixed in. I never tired of the dives, there was always something really interesting every dive.
I enjoyed Dauin and Azure very much and will definitely consider visiting again.
