Little Mermaid Dive Resort by Cocotel

The dive setup here is fantastic. The boats are large and spotless, rental gear is excellent with complete sets available, and the friendly guides know plenty of spots and can adapt to different divers’ needs. I also loved the bar, especially one of the best mango Margheritas I’ve had, and the staff were welcoming and knew their jobs. The resort itself is spectacular for a dive island, with clean rooms, comfortable beds, and just the right amenities. I’ll definitely come back if I visit Malapascua again. Thanks to Carl, Anibel and team!

The warm welcome stood out most. We felt part of the dive community as soon as we arrived, and the whole team was friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about diving. Everything was well organized, with clear communication, high safety standards, and a relaxed feel throughout our January 2026 visit to Little Mermaid Dive Center in Malapascua. Our guides knew their stuff, paid attention to the group, and were great at spotting marine life while keeping everyone comfortable. The boat was cozy and well equipped, the briefings were thorough, and the staff made the dives memorable. Seeing the Tresher sharks was really worth it. I’d happily dive with Little Mermaid Dive Center again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, enjoyable dive center in Malapascua.

The café downstairs had great food and drinks, with both veg and non-veg choices. Fresh, tasty, and beautifully made, it was just what we wanted after a long day diving. Staying here was comfortable too: clean rooms, a peaceful vibe, and warm, sweet people all around. It really felt like a home away from home. The staff at Little Mermaid scuba diving center were professional, friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. Their passion for diving helped me feel comfortable and safe right from arrival. Amazing time diving in Malapascua, highly recommend it for a dive trip. Can’t wait to come back! 🌊🤿🦈✨💙

The café became our evening hangout, with great food and a cool vibe. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, from the dive crew to the restaurant and housekeeping teams. Thanks to MK, our diving instructor, for helping us improve our buoyancy. We really enjoyed the dives afterward. Thank you, team Little Mermaid Resort!
