My sister and I didn't stay at the on-site hotel, but went out for a couple dives with the centre. Very enjoyable experience. Professional and courteous service. They made sure we felt we were in good hands at all times. The dive master brought us out to a couple sites, both with interesting marine life and beautiful coral. Affordable prices. Relaxed environment. Good service. Would recommend.

This is by far the best scuba diving place in Anilao. We had the best time and the people and owner is very accomodating. Very reasonable price. From instructors, dive masters and staff they made you feel safe and comfortable.

Come here, if you want to become part of the dive center family. Everyone is super welcoming and makes you wanna stay. If you are here for more than just a few days, you will meet the regulars, awesome! Dive equipment is in good condition, dive masters know the dive sites very well. Beautiful macro stuff to see around here.

Perspective from a beginner: I am not a natural born swimmer and/or diver but I instantly felt at home in ASDC even if it was only a day trip. It was my first time to try diving! I was nervous but my diving master really helped make me feel comfortable, safe and that I could learn it right away. And I did -- I learned so much from the diving intro and the dive itself. It was an inspiring experience. They really take teaching divers seriously. You will see that they care about mother nature as well as the guests. The owner and staff are all very accommodating. It may not be a 5-star hotel but they do prioritize equipment and safety for those who want to try out diving. ASDC is a great community that is growing in ASDC and I'm grateful for the experience. Can't wait to come back again soon. Because of this experience, I would like to try diving again and hopefully the weather cooperates even more so I can see the marine life again.

This is a very lovely dive center, we were introduced by our hotel (though our own hotel call itself dive center, but no divers there...). The staffs and dive guild were super friendly and helpful to us. We had 2 days (2 dives per day) dive with them, and we had a great time. The food is simple, but very delicious. We did not stay and sleep in the center, so as we know the facilities are very basic, but for divers its enough. (Not like our hotel King Solomon, no food, no water, no diving, no staff...). Definitely will recommended to my friends.

Amazing experience. The people here were very friendly, way beyond a simple business relationship. The dive instructor Oliver was very kind and accommodating, and even as beginners it has been a great experience to dive here. Probably the best host we got during 3 weeks spent in the Philippines.

I discovered my love for scuba only after diving with dive instructors in ASDC . They make you comfortable with water without any rush . You can share all your concerns like mine was under water snake and how they made me super cool about snakes . Stay here and meet the passionate people about diving from across the globe. Best diving spots in Batangas . Most friendly dive instructors. People here work for the love for scuba and diving with such people u will definitely have the best underwater experience.

The most basic place to stay while diving. Airconditioned rooms with shower, breakfast and meals. This is for backpackers and students. Actually there were few marine biology students during my visit. Friendly stuff and nice company, since obviously everyone there was a diver :) Dives them self were relaxing and everything went according rules and regulations. Anilao has so much small critters to see, that I need to visit again some day with better photographing equipment with me. I have absolutely no complains of the dive resort. Only annoyance were tiger mosquitos, but those are all over Philippines.

I had an outstanding three-day stay at ASDC in August. I had such a nice time diving with Oliver, Gina, et al. and was grateful for their excellent communication, wonderful photography skills, and ability to find small creatures like nudibranchs. They truly treat you like family -- and I felt at home very quickly. As other reviews have noted, if you choose to stay here, you should expect a pretty no frills experience. My first assigned room had a bad smell (of sewage) but after requesting a room change, I ended up in a much better room. Good, working AC and fast Internet in the dining area (although the Internet doesn't reach the rooms). I felt that the value of staying here was just outstanding! I will definitely be back. And the food is really good!

Awesome diving experience at ASDC. My DM Shala guided me through some amazing day and night dives, the accommodation is basic but the staff super friendly and beyond this everything is pretty cheap of compared with other resorts. I ll definitely come back, salamat

I came here for the second time and definitely I will come back. As we say in France, never 2 without 3 ! It's the perfect place for a scuba diving pilgrimage, you'll be amazed and you'll be received as if you were part of the family and that's also why I came back here. The team is very professional and really knowledgeable in marine life. Being myself a diving instructor, I recommend +++. Many thanks to Gina, Oliver and Shala. See you soon my friends !

Anilao - an idyllic haven for scuba-diving, ASDC a perfect place for weekend getaway unfolded in the serene surroundings. Bathed in tranquility, ASDC exudes an alluring blend of rustic charm and natural beauty. It is important to be safe and confident while diving in a new environment, I had that assurance during my two days dive with Master Oliver. The stay at ASDC was memorable, I stayed for two nights and had a good night rest before the dive. Highly recommend!

The ambiance is very relaxing. The people are very nice. We love this place.

For a diver, this place is exactly what you want. Boat dives, shore dives, night dives, they have everything! My guide, Carlo, was unbelievable at finding the tiniest of critters on the sea floor. I wasn't into macro diving before but am converted after this trip. In regards to the stay, Gina and her team run a wonderful operation. Rooms are basic but you're not here to stay in your room the whole time. The atmosphere is social as everyone eats around the same table for their meals (which were always tasty). The balcony is a perfect place to watch the sunset and read while listening to the waves lapping the shore. Would stay again.

Excellent diving spots 👌

A very affordable place to stay for your scuba needs and other water sports or just being by the beach front. Very accommodating owner and manager!

Best to be if youre looking for a crowd who really love diving

Found a home in ASDC. Owner Gina is so charming and accomodating. Shes a peoples person. Simple economical place to stay on Discovering Scuba Diving and Free Diving. She has Ate Lea to cook for yah! Thumbs up!!

This place must be rebuilt, and a project is on the way. Just stay attentive about future months. Anyway, diving staff are very good and professional.

This is a dive resort for diving community, once you’re here, you’re hooked with these fanatical buddies forever. If you’re aiming to explore the underwater world with accredited dive masters and experienced instructors, ASDC will definitely amaze you. A friendly family for all the passionate divers.

Amazing place that I've been visited 😍.

This is a very basic, no-frills dive site. You simply get an air conditioned room, your own toilet, access to the beach, snorkeling and dive areas as well as a restaurant that makes basic meals. Don't expect much and you'll walk away with lots of good dive experiences. As this place is basic, it's also quite cheap.

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a diving adventure with the incredible team at Anilao Scuba Diving Club (ASDC), and I must say, it was an experience beyond compare. From the moment I arrived, the professionalism and warmth of the ASDC team were immediately evident. They greeted us with genuine smiles and a palpable enthusiasm for the underwater world that was contagious. The dive instructors, led by the knowledgeable Anshu, were simply outstanding. Anshu's expertise and passion for diving were apparent in every moment of our trip. He took the time to ensure that each dive was not just safe, but also filled with wonder and discovery. His guidance and attention to detail instilled a sense of confidence in everyone, from beginners to seasoned divers. The entire ASDC team worked seamlessly together to create an unforgettable experience. From the boat crew who ensured our safety and comfort on the water to the dive masters who led us to stunning dive sites, every member of the team played a crucial role in making our trip exceptional. What truly stood out was the care and consideration shown by the ASDC team. They took the time to educate us about the marine life we encountered, fostering a deep appreciation for the ocean's beauty and biodiversity. Their commitment to sustainable diving practices was evident in every aspect of the trip, from the briefings to the underwater encounters. Aside from the diving itself, the accommodations provided by ASDC were top-notch. The facilities were clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay after a day of diving adventures. I cannot recommend Anilao Scuba Diving Club highly enough. Whether you are a novice looking to take your first plunge into the underwater world or a seasoned diver seeking new thrills, ASDC has something to offer for everyone. Thank you, ASDC team, for an unforgettable diving experience. Your passion, professionalism, and dedication to excellence are truly commendable. I look forward to returning for more dives and creating even more incredible memories with your team.
