PamAnilao and Padoy's Dive Camp

We only booked at the last minute, through email and Facebook chat, but they got back to us quickly. Our one-night stay included two fun dives on the house reef. Padoy, the DM, and his assistants joined us, so each of us had a guide on the first dive. One friend couldn’t equalize, so they snorkeled with their guide instead. We saw turtles, frogfish, nudibranchs, and lots more. The reef is clearly looked after well by Padoy and his team. The staff cooked all our meals, and everything tasted like good home cooking. Our room was spotless, and everyone was kind and welcoming. Just note that there was no Wi-Fi or phone signal in the room because of the building, though Wi-Fi worked well in the dining area right outside. We had a great time. :)

This is the only place we keep choosing for our diving trips. They take us to great dive sites and share loads of photos and videos from our dives, which makes the experience even better. The prices are budget friendly, too. It’s cozy, feels like home, and is always so clean. The owners are kind, and we love coming back here!

A cozy place with clean rooms and good staff. Especially worth a visit if you're there to scuba dive.

Getting here takes a little planning. There’s no direct road to the resort, and it sits behind other houses along a small path, so it’s best to contact them for directions and help with your luggage. Once you arrive, the staff are very friendly and ready to help. You can relax here whether you’re diving or just on vacation. The resort sits right by the sea, though the shore is rocky rather than sandy. There are lots of fish and coral close by, even for snorkelers, and shore diving is easy. I’ve seen fish, turtles, rays, eels, and shells on my dives here, and I’m amazed every time. I once left my toiletries behind at checkout. When I came back to the resort, they returned them to me carefully packed. That really impressed me.
