OW Cert in Boracay

[diver_alvir]

My friend and his GF will be vacationing in Boracay this month. They are asking were they can get OW certified.

Any recommendations on resorts/shops/dive instructors?

TIA

The Boracay Scuba people are pretty nice. The shop is beside Jonah's if I recall correctly.

Calypso comes to mind. Are they local? I'd suggest they get certified here in Manila/Anilao to cut on costs though.

I already told them to get certified in Manila/Anilao. But they said since they'll be spending a lot of time in Boracay they might as well get certified there. And they don't have to worry about scheduling classroom/pool sessions then check-out dive at Anilao before they leave for Boracay.

Is this the one in front of Beachcombers? If it is, then I concur. Did one dive with them and they were a friendly bunch.

I did a couple dives with Blue Mango - located by Boat Station 3 - very impressed with the shop -definatly a clued up shop, a good professional outfit.

Guys,

Thanks for the info and recommendations (including the one from Jag). I'll forward the info to my friend. Does anyone know contact details or web site for Boracay Scuba?

Today, my friend and I will be going around Ortigas (DiveZone) and Wilson area (Diver's Point, Scuba World) for basic gear (mask, snorkel, booties, fins) to bring to Boracay. Can't go to Makati (Mares, PhilTech, Scuba Stop, Dive Buddies) today since my car and his are coding. I told my friend to bring plenty of cash and 2 credit cards since he will be paying for two (stuff for him and his GF) and lunch for me.

Thanks again!
