      Instructor Development Course
      Master Peter Tay is the best Course Director who trained me to be an Open Water Scuba Instructor. During the whole Instructor Development Course, although Master has high expectations for me to achieve, he is also a great mentor. His guidance is very wise and are the key to success. Apart from diving, he also provides advice to me to become a better person and a person with excellent skills. Thank You Master 谢谢, 师傅

      Excellent Experience for any Instructor-to-be, even for anyone new to Diving.
      CD Peter was great when he conducted our Instructor Development Course in June '24. He imparted his knowledge, his tips n tricks on teaching effectively, as well as training us to the degree we're guaranteed to do well on our Instructor Exam. This also shows how effective he is as an actual Instructor as well; anyone new to the world of Scuba Diving will not need to worry if you have him as your instructor

      Surreal diving experience!
      Wow! Let me tell you about my mind-blowing scuba diving adventure—it was nothing short of sensational! From the moment I dipped below the surface, I was transported to a whole new world of wonder and excitement. I was a total newbie, but thanks to our incredible instructor, every moment felt like a dream. With patience as deep as the ocean itself, they guided us through every practice drill, ensuring we were not just safe, but confident too. I dare to say, not a moment our instructor left our eye of sight! I feel really safe in the deep ocean. Kudos! And let me tell you about the dive site—it was out of this world! The water was crystal clear, the marine life abundant, and the scenery absolutely breathtaking. Our instructor was like a guardian angel, right there beside us every step of the way, making sure we were soaking up every ounce of underwater magic. And the views? Oh, they were beyond words! This experience was worth every single second, and I have to give a huge shoutout to Peter and the whole team for making it all possible. They turned my first dive into a memory I'll treasure forever. Thank you!

      Experienced and Knowledgable Diver Instructor
      Completed my Open Water Course with Master Peter Tay in Boracay! Beautiful place, and managed to see a sea turtle while we were at it. He is a very experienced and knowledgable diver, and his crew were all great to work with. I am very grateful that he could adapt the course to my schedule, and to have had this as my first diving experience!

      Best scuba experience with the best scuba instructor!
      As a first timer in scuba diving, Master Peter Tay was the best scuba instructor! Very articulate, clear, concise and hands on. I learned very quickly and applied my learnings very well when I dived. I will definitely tell my family and friends about my experiences. Thank you so much Sir Peter!

      Dive with Master Peter Tay!
      Waaah! It was the best 30 minutes of my life here in Boracay! Doing scuba diving for the first time is quite scary but it was replaced by excitement as I go down the water. With the help of our instructor Sir Peter Tay, who really brief us on what to do, I was able to do Scuba Diving perfectly as I am able to equalize to release the pressure underwater. Will definitely do it again! Big thanks to Sir Peter for the clear instructions and guidance throughout my diving experience!

      DSD with Boracay Scuba Dive
      I just realised that life underwater was really fine even in just a short time🫠 I could say it because I experienced scuba diving with the help of Sir Peter. I had fun, and he's really good and amazing at explaining the things that needed to be put in mind when under the water. Thank you, Sir Peter! You are the best!🫡👌

    First, Master Peter replied fast in facebook and in e-mail to answer my inquiry about the details of the training. He is very honest regarding the costs and with no hidden charges.

    Second, he always messaged me if I understand the e-learning or If I have questions/problems before the actual training.

    Third, he gave us discount card that I can use to buy diving gears or accessories.

    I enjoyed and learned so much from Day 1 to Day 3 of our confined and open water training. Master Peter make sure that I understand every step of the procedures. He explained it very easy to me. He is down to earth and very approachable so that you can feel relaxed in the water.

    Lastly, he always make sure that we enjoy, happy and safe in the water.

    I will definitely get the advance courses with him again.

    I took the PADI Open Water Diver Course with Master Peter Tay, I enjoyed his instructions.He is a Professional with over 25years of experiences. Master Peter is among the few people I know who are genuinely passionte about something. Though he has taught thousands of students and dive countless of time, there is no trace at all that he is tired of it. I strongly recommend those who wish to become a PADI Diver to look for him in Boracay. 😊

    I recently completed my PADI Open water course with Peter at Calypso Dive School.
    He was great. Very friendly and relaxed but also extremely professional.
    Peter made me feel so relaxed and was such a great teacher that I continued on to complete my Advanced open water course.
    Thanks again Peter, I’ll be back.
