Very helpful and nice Manager Oliver who is running a well equipped and professional dive school. Excellent briefings, very good equipment, very friendly staff at the shop as well as on the boats. Perfectly organized trips with all you need. Tabanka Divers is definitely a great choice for diving around el Nido. Also the place offers stunning sunsets. In my personal opinion a great place for doing all kinds of certifications because of the experienced Instructor and equipment in combination with a very responsible Manager who really takes care about offering good dives to his customers. Sorry for not giving a 5 star rate but during my two days of diving we were on 4 out of 6 dives not in the promised rate of 4 divers to 1 DM. Even the other divers had higher certification levels than OWD to not shorten dive time too much it happened 2 times that the freelancer DM had to turn around pretty quick after descending. They promote that ratio but it was that days not possible. Besides of that detail a great divecenter with absolutely lovely people. Also nice prices for that service on top! Thanks for the good times!…

My friend and I initially registered for Padi open water through Tabanka’s official website. During our courses/dives, we had such a great time. Our instructor Thomas is friendly and experienced, we decided to do Advanced Open water as well. The owner Oliver was very accommodating. Highly recommended dive shop. I will definite dive with them again! …

Did my PADI open water certification with Thomas, he was the best instructor ever, knowledgeable and has a passion for teaching scuba. My friend and I had such a great time we decided to do the advanced open water with them as well. Extremely friendly staff and I felt safe during my time on the boat as well as in the water with these exceptional individuals. Thank you for the great experience! Will definitely return in the future …

This was our first time in the Philippines, we had no idea what to expect. By looking at trip advisor we choose Tabanka divers. It was also a easy walk from our resort. We were very pleased. They took compete care of us. Setting up our equipment and having it out the boat waiting was a big bonus. They catered to my poor back as far as getting in and out of the water. The lunch between dives was excellent!! I would highly recommend this dive shop.…
