Dive Beyond the Ordinary

  I was scared of deep waters. I always believed that there is something down under bigger than me. I told myself that diving would be the last thing I'd do.... read more />
But with Reef Haven, I have never been more confident to go the extra mile and face the adventure that awaits 15 feet below. Our instructors guided us through the ABCs of diving and gave us the best underwater experience of our youth. We finished the day with great tans and an even greater love for diving. <33

When in doubt, Reef Haven it out!

  I am forever grateful that Reef Haven created memories and experiences that are unforgettable for me. I have been diving for a long while now but I have never regretted... read more a single second that I was with them! This diving centre is female dominated, so as a diver who is a woman, I feel welcomed, accepted, and safe. Through ate Julienne, my instructor, I was able to enhance my skills and be more in love with the ocean. Their staff inspired me to grow more as diver, and to be more in- tuned with the diving community. It is truly a place that my heart will always return to.

  Lots of small things add up to the best imaginable diving adventure. A welcoming embrace from reef haven for the late arrival after a very long and busy morning. Someone... read more greeting us from the very start to build up the mood of the experience. They are very friendly and the moment the briefing started, they are very particular with the basics to make us more comfortable and secured. I worry that I wouldn't understand such information and knowledge about diving but they got us. Never making you feel like you're asking too much, and dealing with queries rapidly and thoroughly. Looking really glad to join them. And love the quiz bee after the audiovisual presentation

And when we had quick and specific basics underwater, I learned it quickly for they are very particular specifically with the signs and symbols. Found it very cute to do some symbols while communicating underwater and it's a great experience. Never doubted reef haven in the first place. Proud of myself too for overcoming my fears with them. And of course I may not hear anything underwater but reef haven's exciting adventure screams and it's loud enough for me to enjoy it!

  It was such an awesome experience! The diving instructors Marjorie and Julienne are professionals who are more than willing to share their skills and knowledge to make sure I'd have... read more a good time down there. They're the best in their crafts and knows the good diving spots. I was starstruck swimming with massive turtles! Special mention to Gary who was diving with us to make sure we're safe. He's ready to flash at any aggressive fishes nearby lol and to the boatmen who brought us.

From education, skills, diving gears and photos underwater, a 5-star is an understatement, would have given it a 10 if possible. I highly recommend this place if you're just starting off with diving. It's like being in another world, beautiful, colorful and jaw-dropping world.

P.S. This may be the first of many but won't be my last.

  My first experience with Reef Haven was joining my friends’ first discovery dive. From the start, I was super impressed with the staff’s friendliness - they were so personable and... read more so kind! The briefing for the DSD was done very well and all the gear we rented was clearly new and of great quality - I could tell my friends were in very good hands. The dive masters were thorough in making sure each of my friends were ready for the dive and they led us all safely through the dive. My friends loved it and some of them went on to get certified, and a couple more planning to do the same!

My scuba instructor friend and I were looking for some great diving from a reputable dive shop which led me back to Reef Haven for my second visit. Tish was incredibly kind and helpful in making our booking (she also gave us the best wave goodbyes and hellos each time we came and left on the boat) I had the same exact experience again - incredibly friendly staff, well-maintained gear, and safe & competent dive masters.

My friend and I availed of their 6-dives package and of course upgraded one of them to a night dive (this is a must)! After getting to know the diving we like, our certification level, our experience, and our comfort levels, the staff talked us through which dive sites we might enjoy. Once they were decided upon, our dive master Basil walked us through the dive briefing - he was very clear and thorough and answered any questions we had.

Each dive was incredible! I saw so many things I’ve never seen before (especially in the muck diving) - many of which I have yet to identify! God is so wonderfully creative! Basil dove at our pace, giving us time to look and explore, but he’s a master at finding all the unique macro critters! One thing that made our dives even more enjoyable for me was seeing how Basil and Julienne still seemed excited to dive sites they’ve dove hundreds of times already - I felt like they were proudly touring me through their gorgeous home!

Reef Haven goes above and beyond to give you the best diving the waters of Puerto Galera have to offer! I’m already looking forward to my next dive trip with them!

  This place is a gem. Came in with no scuba experience. Completed the Open Water Diver course and ended up doing 8 more recreational dives.

The staff... read more was great, my instructor (Rose) was very patient and supportive, and the divemaster (Julienne) was fun and a good leader. She even pulled me to safety, away from an aggressive triggerfish.

Highlights of the dives include sea turtles (my favorite), seahorses, cuttlefish, sting rays, et al. The regular divers also made for good dive buddies and gave this beginner lots of good tips.

Looking forward to diving again with Reef Haven when I return to Puerto Galera!

  Hands down 100% recommend.
Professional, experienced, friendly and accommodating staff!
Dives and training provided me with the experience and knowledge required and not only that, left me with the... read more desire to learn more. They chose dive spots which varied from day to day and provided me with excitement, they catered to the learners. Loved the whole Reef haven team. Special thanks to Julienne Trish and Rosa Marie.
I felt like family and even shed a tear on my certification ceremony.
Amazing people, amazing experience, left educated and comfortable with my skills and even more so. Also! they helped me reach my goal of seeing a seahorse on my last dive!!
Highly recommend! Thank you ReefHaven team for your awesomeness!

  From strangers to instant friends! Very accommodating staff.

A great place to discover diving or even to explore the oceans as an experienced diver!

Professional yet fun!... read more You know you’re safe, but safety does not need to kill the fun!
