Dive with Kontiki a few months back. Nothing special. Mismatch equipment, maintenance seemed just average but the crew usually makes up for all of these drawbacks. For the beginner divers, do not get your expectations high as being a PADI 5 stars establishment is not a sign of 5 stars services and equipment. It just mean you ticked a few... More

Kontiki divers is listed as a 5 Star PADI dive shop, but if falls short of the standards of a 5 star dive shop. Though the staff was very welcoming as the Philippinos are known to be, there were many problems. The equipment was not properly maintained and salt deposits were clearly visible. We were not asked to show our... More

Dear Zulumbi, Thank you very much for your honest review of Kontiki Divers. This was really not the best moment in our history. Right after all the incidents we conducted a staff meeting during which we have discussed all the things that went wrong on that day. We have already implemented new procedures to avoid such incidents including the slippery... More

I participated the AOW course provided by Kontiki diving shop. Things (transportation, communication,lessons. etc) are all well arranged in a professional way. Thanks for all the efforts made by the whole team.

Greg is a manager and diving instructor like they are supposed to be! First, I booked a discover-scuba session for my japanese friends and Greg organised a japanese instructor for them (not only some half-japanese speaking guy). Second, I took the deep diver course with Greg. He is a really good instructor who thought more than the course required. I... More

My wife and I spent 4 days there in December 2012 and enjoyed it. We rented one of the rooms in the cottage on the water. Really spectacular ocean views. We did several dives with Kontiki Dive shop and found them to be fun and the staff friendly, professional and safety oriented. One of the nice dive sites is right... More

I dived with Kontiki the first time in the Philippines after the issuing of the black alert travel warning signal in Hong Kong two years ago -- yet my worries went away completely after my visit to Cebu. Kontiki got everything well-prepared and the staff working there were helpful and very friendly. I got a wonderful time with Kontiki divers... More

The instructor and his helpful team assisted me with taxi arrangements from the airport. I did three PADI specialities with Greg, who I found to be an excellent and very helpful instructor. Nice house reef, a few wrecks and beautiful location to dive. Would love to return sometime. Shower in my room was very poor but, just about managed with... More

I stayed at Kontiki Resort and did 8 dives with Kontiki Maribago Beach in July 2011. Getting There I flew into Cebu from Manila on Cebu Pacific. There are ATMs and a few shops at Mactan International Airport so make sure you have some local currency as I didn't find an ATM near the resort. You don’t need cash on... More
