It was an amazing experience diving with Prana Divers! I dived with Prana Divers back in May 2016 ( Sorry TripAdvisor doesn't allow me to choose an earlier date in the review) and I enjoyed the experience. The dive masters & instructors are knowledgeable and professional and the diving sites are awesome! In addition, I would say their fluorescent night dive opened up a new world for me :) Highly recommended!

Everyone is very nice (Argem, Allan, Gilbert...), they are flexible and the dives were great. But the equipment should be repaired or replaced. Wetsuits and BCD are old and threadbare, wetshoes are torn.
The first day I did two fun dive, the engine of the speedboat broke and we had to wait almost one hour to get started. Tanks were leaking and losing air and had to be replaced, I had a lot of water in the regulator etc.
Second day, two dives at balicasag I had a leakage directly on the first stage and two or three buddys had leakage on the gasket connecting the first stage to the tank and on the way back the engine of the boat broke,again... An another boat had to come and drag us. Considering that they are in the upper part of the prices range of Panglao, one would expect better equipment.

Me and my friend did the open water within 3 days. We felt super safe, they had nice equipment and the staff was super friendly and helpful all the time.
Adrienne was our instructor and we can definitely recommend her!! She took the time we needed and we weren’t in a rush at all.
Practiced all the important skills in the pool and went into the open water on the second day!!
Just awesome!!!

We went with this crew for two days of fun diving and visited Balicasag and Gak-Ang, both beautiful dive sites, but in hindsight maybe switched the two because Balicasag has a lot to see.
Small dive group of three people, and even though I was by far the least experienced diver (5 dives vs 70+ and 220+) our dive master Jardo made sure everyone could get their money’s worth (keeping me a bit shallower ~16-18m so my air would last a good while (~1h) and the others could explore a bit deeper ofc within visibility). As these were my first fun dives after my Open Water I was very happy with the way Jardo explained things during the briefing, detailed enough to give me a safe feeling but also relaxed and fun.
Gilbert responded really fast, clear and helpful to our messages the days before the dives. On the days itself the boat crew was very helpful too. Only downside is that it is a bit more expensive than in Coron and without lunch :p
Very glad to have such a good experience with my second dive shop in the Philippines! Dankjewel jongens!

I did my Open Water Course with Prana Divers. Awesome! Instruction was very specific, professional and fun. Even though my very first dive experience was exciting, they made it easy, comfortable and unforgettable. I got all the knowledge to dive safely and to enjoy it. A special thank you to Adrienne!

When it comes to trying scuba diving, you need to be a bit careful in Panglao. A lot of scammers, who are not certified divers, approached me and said that they offer discovery dives and their quote was ridiculous. I was lucky to find Prana Divers.
With little to no experience in swimming, I was always hesitant to dive underwater. Am fortunate to find Damien, who made things easy. A very passionate and friendly diving instructor! The fact that he skipped his lunch and started teaching us with full enthusiasm is enough for me to explain that he is passionate towards his job.
In the end, I loved that I did another consecutive dive again. Thanks for making me feel safe Damien and best wishes for your future! 🙏🏻

We were looking for tickets to dive in Balicasag which was sold out everywhere but Prana divers got back to us and said they had tickets for Jun 7 and Jun 8. We opted for Jun 8 and they requested for a deposit, which we happily paid.
The next day, we received an email saying that they DIDN’T have tickets to Balicasag!
It was very unprofessional of them to say they had Balicasag tickets when they were not sure.
Luckily , we were refunded our deposit.

Hi,
Unfortunately this can happen with the ticket system..
1 our before you send me the email, there where still tickets available, by the time I wanted to book your tickets, all the remaining spots where gone.. There is nothing unprofessional about that, it's just how the system works.
First come, first serve.
Sorry if you feel so bad about this and give us a 1star rating without even diving with us..
Ps.
In your email, you asked for 6 or 8 june.
Half our after you send the email, I replayed that it was possible for the 6th, you replayed to me, to late, we booked something else.
You missed your chance by not going on the 6th 😉
Best regards
Gilbert

Prana Divers has it all : transfer from the hotel, recent material, reasonable prices, friendly staff, professional divemaster, snacks on board, different payment options, etc.
We saw a whale shark on our dive to Balicasag !! and the dive masters were not chasing the whale like I have seen other dive centers do, good point !!

We enjoyed diving with Gilbert and Allan very much. They are very proffesional, taking the guests and their potential diseases serious but never forgetting that diving should be fun and relax for all involved. They make great atmosphere on board of the boat!
The divings in Balicasag were beautiful and we enjoyed the days over there. We did also a Nitrox course by them and habe really nothing to claim :-) we recommend Prana Bohol to all visiting Panglao!

Hallo Stekken,
ich möchte nächsten August mit meinem dann 16jährigen Sohn den Advanced Open Water auf den Philippinen machen und bin auf Deinen Eintrag gestoßen. Klingt sehr vielversprechend. Was gab es unter Wasser zu sehen und wo habt Ihr gewohnt? Habt Ihr auch dafür eine Empfehlung? Welche weiteren Dinge gibt es außer Tauchen zu tun?
ich freu mich über eine Rückmeldung!

Bonjour, je vous recommende sans probleme ce club de plongee ! Le staf est tres competant et tres attentif aux regles de securites ! mon fils de 12 ans y a passe son "advance" en toute tranquilite ! Le club propose des sorties vers des iles qui sont a environ de 30 minutes a 1h de traversee ). Attention neanmoins de bien verifier vos destinations la veille ou le jour de depart car suivant le temps sur la mer les destinations peuvent changer. Le club ne propose que de la plongee ou du snorkling a ma connaissance. Mon fils a vu des sting ray, des tortues, un requin baleine, des stone fish, frog fish (tres rare) et bien d'autres poissons ...Nous avions loue un appartement sur airbnb (Mike and Cherry). si vous voulez plus d'information sur le logement contactez moi. a bientot peut etre et bonnes vacances
