genial! profesionales, equipo perfecto y muy acogedores! Jungi y Mark guias excelentes!

Great dive shop. Great logistics. Huge spacious boats. Great people to hang around after dives. New equipment if you decide to rent. Good and intense schedule. Very good guides overall.

Special thanks to my shark dives guide of the first two days Junjie who did an extraordinary job in managing the crowds. I almost got kissed by multiple threshers. I don't think it would be possible without Junjie

We finished our open water certification here with Marvin and then completed additional thresher shark dives. Marvin and his team were fantastic and made us feel so safe. They’re also just really fun and friendly people. We had an amazing experience. Thank you for everything Marvin and team! The sharks, turtles and dolphins were an added bonus!

I had the most amazing experience with tsd! I went to do my Open Water course and ended up staying to get my Advanced as well. The tsd team is SO good at what they do, everyone is so welcoming, professional helpful and fun. My instructor made me feel prepared and safe underwater and I enjoyed every single dive. I cannot recommence tsd enough, I wish I could do it all again!
Also, diving in Malapascua is AMAZING, the thresher shark dives are stunning and and all the sites are full of beautiful coral and animals. It’s unreal.
I cannot wait to be back! ????
THANK YOU!!!

I did one day of diving with TSD in Malapascua. I had a pay a $50 USD deposit before arriving to hold my spot and based on their pricing and reviews I expected a top notch experience. Unfortunately I was really turned off by their staff. I wasn’t welcomed in anyway or even acknowledged. I tried to check in the day before the dive and was completely ignored by the reception staff as I awkwardly sat there for 20 min until one of the dive masters walked in.

The diving itself was fine but when I went to pay, I had to wait in line for 45 minutes. Then they presented the bill with added fees for a dive I didn’t do and a torch I didn’t rent. Not to mention we could have done the same location, 3 dives with a different operator for the same price TSD was charging for 2. Overall, I would expect more for what I was paying and had a much better experience diving with a different operator the next day.

I had the best time for my first dive with Steven! Thank you so much for this moment (and the beers!)

Top expérience avec Steven… Tout en alliant sécurité et plaisir… Merci

Super plongée avec Steven ! Je recommande à 300%

Not sure where to start.
I've stayed in Malapascua for almost a month, and it's hard to resume it all in a paragraph or two.

With TSD everything was perfectly managed, and the staff was professional and friendly.

My best way to say "Thank You" will be to return for a 2nd round this year.

See you again in a couple of months!

I booked with this diveshop because i got a recommendation from a friend. I looked at the recommendations on google after i booked and was a little unsure wether i made the right choice but after diving with them i‘m so happy i didn‘t change! The staff is super friendly and helpful, all of them. Their equipment is new and in very good condition. The divemasters are very professional, give good briefings and try their best to show a lot of stuff(very successfully, we saw LOTS of threshers, a tigershark, seahorses, whitetips, the mandarin fish, pygmy seahorse and even more). The boat is nice aswell and the boatcrew very friendly and super helpful. All in all they might be a little more expensive than other shops on the island but definitely worth it ????????

- I did most of my dives with mark as a Divemaster. He was wonderful, showed us a lot of cool stuff, answered all our questions and is super professional :)

¡Muy buena experiencia de buceo! Gracias a Toni por el buen trato y la vibra positiva, volveremos sin duda ????????

Firstly, the admin staff have been incredible and managed my transfer from Moalboal to Malapascua and from Malapascua to Cebu flawlessly. They were extremely helpful and responsive.

Having said that, the people in charge of the diveshop created a pretty negative experience, in my opinion. On my first day, someone named Alverto handled all my paperwork. He was incredibly pushy about me doing the Padi deep diver course, which he was going to run despite the fact that I wasn't interested in it at all.

On the first dive at Kimud Shoal ( the Thresher site), my buddy, whom they paired me with and seemed really inexperienced, used up his air extremely quickly. When the divemaster checked in with us, he was at 100 bar while I was at 170. The total dive time for this, including the 3 min safety stop, was 36 mins - my shortest dive yet! Instead of switching the buddies around, I did my second dive with the same buddy. Luckily, we bumped into another group of divers from the company right before our safety stop, and I was able to have a slightly longer dive.

Later, Leon, the manager, asked me how my dive was. When I told him about this, he said "well sometimes we don't know until we get them underwater." Now... Let me be clear, I'm a rescue diver, and objectively, that statement is accurate. Having said that, Thresher Shark divers are by far the most expensive company to dive with. I would think that the response should be at least a tinge apologetic.

I also asked Leon if they were planning any dives at Gato or if they would be doing the 3 dive schedule of Monad Shoal, Kimud Shoal, and Kimud Shoal. Leon then told me that based on the weather, it was unlikely that they would be able to go to those places but that he would "try to schedule Gato on my last day of diving."

As a result of this, I switched to Atlas divers, who I would recommend instead. I will admit, when I went with them to Gato, the weather wasn't great, and the sea was quite rough, but not something it made sense to cancel dives over. Given how stunning Gato is them being so uncomital about going there is enough reason for me not to recommend them.

The last point I'd like to make is about the sunset dive for Mandrian Fish at Lighthouse. If you book that with Thresher Shark Divers, a minimum of two divers are required before they will actually do the dive. With Atlas, however, I did it twice, and both times, it was just me and my divemaster.

After my experience with them, a part of me wonders if the replies from the shop to negative reviews are correct and if they really implement the suggested changes. I'd also like to mention that someone I became friends with from doing a shore dive with them through Thresher Shark Divers who had significantly more issues than me with them.

Highly recommend TSD if you want a seamless and fuss-free dive trip covering Malapascua, Bohol and Moalboal. Andrea helped to liaise with the various dive centres and arrange for the transportation for each location.

TSD dive masters were professional and friendly, especially Mark and Tata. The crew and office staff were also very helpful. All in all, it was a great experience diving in TSD, if you don’t have to deal with the Manager, Leon, who is not fantastic in managing the dives and also like to make sarcastic comments which were not funny.

On one of the days, we booked for 3 dives at 8.30am and 1 dive at 2.30pm. Due to unforeseen delays on the 1st trip out, we only managed to return to the dive shop at 2.35pm. When we were returning to the dive shop, we saw the other dive boat leaving for the 2.30pm dive. The poor dive master who was assigned to us, was left behind at the dive shop, waiting for us to arrange with Leon on the next steps. When we approached Leon, he only said “I had to ask the other boat to go” and “kindly” offered us other options, which was to go on the night dive or end the day earlier. As we had other plans for the night, we had no choice but to end the day earlier, and do a night dive the next day, one day before we were supposed to depart malapascua. As a result, we had to leave with wet gears the following day.

As the manager of the dive shop, the basic expectation is for him to manage the dives that the shop are offering. Based on the timings stated on the registration sheets, we were able to make it back in time for the 2.30pm dive. Of course, there were unexpected delays, but shouldn’t he be managing this and offering a solution to resolve the issue, instead of just brushing us off with existing dives which we know of and didn’t want to register?

Thankfully, the other staff in TSD were very professional and were able to compensate for Leon’s lack-of service.

Great dive center!
We were there for a week and felt completely at ease. Our guides Mark, Junjie, Wilbert and Tata were all great and did an excellent job.
The organization in advance and on site was also great.
The dives at Kimud Shoal were fantastic, as were the macro dives.
We can highly recommend this dive center and will come again :)

Very unpleasant experience here. The business runs good dives (hard to screw up when the idea is "drop to where the threshers are") but will charge extra for whatever they can. Never been nickel and dimed in the dozens of other dive shops around the world.

Relaxed and good divingschool

Had amazing time diving with TSD. Some close encounters with thresher sharks were pretty awesome. TSD’s team is also very professional and well organised. Special thanks to our dive master Mark who had been really professional and nice and took good care of us.

Learning the advance skills were really cool. The instructor was on point and i’ve learned really practical things!

Passed my Advanced levelat this great diving center. Had a fantastic instructor named Marc Verhaegen who did an outstanding job... highly recommended you ask for him !

having a great time with my aow instructor Marc at TSD Cebu！

The stuff is amazing, kind and helpful
We had a great experience, we had 5 dives and saw many thresher sharks. The dive instructors were patient and professional during the dive, and let us have great time

Thanks for guiding me through the nitrox course. Big thanks to my instructor marc, awesome guy with a ton of experience. Did learn alot here! 5/5!!

This place was recommended to me by my adventurous friends. They told me the guys behind this dive pro shop knows their stuff and it'd be worth my while to check them out. Unfortunately by the time my friends messaged me, I'm pretty much done with my trip but having passed them for two days and seeing all the activity here and the grins from their customers, I can say that my friends are most likely spot on with their recommendation and I'll surely check them out in the future

I got my open water padi with Marc. He taught us step by step and we made quick progression with his clear instructing. The dive shop is wel organised and the whole team is very welcoming. I would recommend this store to others!

Great diving center! Marc was our instructor for the Advanced Open Water course and he did a great job! We felt incredibly comfortable during the days we were there. And overall, every person in the dive shop was very kind and ready to lend a helping hand when needed. Would 100% recommend
