I have so much to say about this establishment, but I’ll do my best to keep to keep it brief.. Bongo Bongo Divers literally changed my life and to say that I am grateful for Magnus and his entire staff would be a significant understatement.I first arrived in ‘16 to complete my Open water course and later returned to proceed with my Rescue Diver and Divemaster training from there I was so impressed by the quality of mentoring I received from Luna that I immediately went for the Instructor Development Course(IDC). The training I received under Anthony was thoroughly exceptional and overall an experience that I will always look back on as some of the best days of my life. Under the Course Director’s supervision along with his staff I received all of the tools I needed to pursue a career within an industry that I truly love and appreciate. In the end they even helped me find a position with a Five Star PADI Dive Center where I was quickly offered a management role in overseeing dive center operations, and I can attribute this opportunity entirely upon the the folks at Bongo Bongo.There isn’t a day that goes by in which I am not repping my BBD neoprene vest, hat, or one of the tees that I collected, every time I rock the swag It serves as a reminder of all the great times that I have been blessed with by the graces of their services. When you dive with Bongo Bongo you will find that you are merely steps away from a house reef that is a pristine and lush ecosystem where sea turtles, frog fish, even the occasional blue ring octopus in addition to a plethora of marine life that are no strangers, so while I completed every level of my training I was greeted by a host of critters that would shrink any experienced diver’s bucket list by margins. Don’t even get me started on the Apo Island trips that never failed to exceed expectations.As a guest the hospitality is unmatched by the entirety of the staff and the DM guides have a keen eye and understanding of everything below the surface and every step of the way safety and professionalism is held to the highest standard. Whether you dive with Tito, Tado, or Jong you will certainly be in store for an exceptional diving experience.The connections and memories I have made during my time there will always be looked back upon with nostalgia and appreciation as I can hardly begin to count all of the lifelong friends met and every kindred spirit encountered.Much love and many thanks to everyone at Bongo Bongo Divers you guys are simply the best in the business!
