I had a truly wonderful experience with EACY dive school(Scuba For Change). I did the Open Water course and it gave me unforgettable first diving memories. The instructor Magnus helped me to get used to scuba diving step by step. He made me feel safe all the time so I could keep going even when I got afraid. Also, I love the idea that the foundation works for children there, I'm really glad that my diving could be part of that.

The location is quite perfect: the tamaraw beach, where EACY dive school(Scuba For Change) is, is very nice and it takes less than 10mins to get to white beach by scooter.

I highly recommend EACY(Scuba For Change) and l'm sure that you will have a great experience, with really nice people :).

People came from all over the world to scuba dive with Julienne while we were there. I had tried scuba diving before, but she made it fun, calm and was so encouraging. Beautiful dives and they are very accommodating. They take care of everything for you. Took us to a place with the best mango shakes we've ever had!

What a great experience! My friend and I stayed in Puerto Galera for a little less than a week, and I knew I had to get some diving into the trip. I did two boat dives one day and then a shore dive along with my friend, who was getting an intro dive, on another day. I've only been recently certified, and this was my first time diving since then, so I was a little nervous I wouldn't remember everything on my first dive, and had to make some buoyancy adjustments, but Gracian and the guys on the boat helped me out and made sure I was okay, so the second and third dives were a breeze. The diving was fantastic; the coral is just beautiful and the variety of fish always amazes me.

I did an intro dive here at Scuba For Change. My friend (who is already certified) convinced me to try it and let me know how Scuba For Change really gives back to the local community. I was scared, but sold.

We were staying nearby at a resort on Talipanan Beach, so Gracian came by and picked us up directly by boat to save us a trike ride. How nice! Julienne trained me on the basics, they brought me to the pool to test me on mask clearing and recovery and all that basic stuff, and then we took a walk out onto the reef.

The house reef is beautiful! We saw tons of stuff, including clownfish and baby clams and a lionfish and frogfish and many other things that I don't know the name of. I'm not a comfortable swimmer and I was nervous about maneuvering myself underwater, but both Julienne and Gracian were patient with me and never left my side.

I had the best experience and these two people are so insanely cool. I recommend Scuba for Change to everyone!

I have just returned from a fantastic trip to Aninuan beach, Puerto Galera. Having gone on a family holiday hoping to get a few dives in, I spent a great week diving with Scuba for change. Their flexibility and interest meant that I was able to dive at suitable times to keep my family happy as well - not easy! The diving in Sabang (a short boat ride away) is very nice but is crowded, the local reefs at Aninuan were enough to keep me happy with plenty of interesting macro-life as well as turtles, sea snakes, etc. to make things interesting for those that like their sea life slightly larger! The local knowledge of the staff meant that every dive was a pleasure, with plenty of time taken to explore. This allowed me to get some great photos of the critters we found. I can't recommend them enough, their enthusiasm deserves your custom!

Julieanne ( instructor) and Gracian ( dive master) are a good professionals with good local knowledge. The equipment is in good shape and the boat is big and almost new. To dive with them was much fun, no stress and always felt very secure. The shop is just 20 minutes boat ride from the major dive sites and close to the White beach. The local Aninuan reef is well worth to dive and is easily reached directly from the shop. Will surely dive with them again!

I had a hard time overcoming some fears in the beginning but the lovely people at Scuba For Change never rushed me and always took care of my needs. Could not have asked for a better or safer learning experience.
