If you prefer macrolife, you can see most creatures on an experienced divers list, or you can get down and dirty in WWII wrecks and immerse yourself in the history that surrounds them. « less

So many people on the boats it is like chaos. Boat needs to cover deck with blue plastic like the other dive shops do. Lot of water splashing up in the gaps between boards. My bag and camera got wet. Only Monad Shoal and 1 other place to dive moast of days. Food they sell in restaurant to bring on... More

We did not have a very pleasant experience diving with Evolution. It seems the owners got greedy with all the divers coming (because of all the great reviews?) and try to bring more divers out then they can properly equip. I was the last diver to sign up for the dives next day and the last diver to try out... More

The reviews say it all. Take the time to talk to Matt, David, the staff, other guests, and islanders. They all have interesting stories to tell. More

This is no ordinary Dive or holiday resort, the Guys and Girls @ evolution have formulated the perfect combination of tranquillity mixed with well disciplined and organised adventure diving, all for a reasonable and affordable cost. Upon arrival it was apparent that the Evolution Diving resort was a well planned concept but it took a while to appreciate how much... More

Evolution was a great choice as a medium-sized dive resort. They have a subtle approach to service and friendship that works quite well, cultivating an environment that is friendly for divers above the water as well. Excellent food, best on the island. More

Folks at Evolution were great hosts, friendly good food and good diving. Very helpful when I left some of my dive kit there and it was organized and sent to the airport where I met the kit so I did not have to go home without it. The staff bent over backwards to sort this out for me, greatly appreciated.... More

I had never dived before so I don't know how to compare the shop to what else is on offer around the world, let alone the island, but I was delighted with the whole experience. The local lads working with David and Matt are a great bunch and the service they give is impeccable. I'd like to think that I... More
