Diddy in the Deep - Excellent time just have to get use too popping of the ears and getting use to the cold water. Otherwise outstanding

Boracay Helmet Diving - Did it again after 14 years! This time with my 10-year old son. Super fun! My son asked, “When are we going back to Boracay to do it again?”

Great tour for family - The tour was awesome, I didn’t know diving can be so easy and not scary. Our crew from Boracay Adventures travel&tour was great, especially Vanessa ❤️ Tnx

Excellent service with Kyla - Great Tour Guide - I did several tours with Kyla as the tour guide, she was excellent as she accompanied us along the tour.
She gave us background and brief history on the island and the Filipino life.
On the boat ride I got a little sea-sick and she was very helpful in ensuring I was able to complete the tour.
Additionally, the island hopping tour with her partner guide he was very helpful and ensured the trip was smooth and fun.
The sunset tour was also well organised and we went sailing quite smoothly without any hiccup.

Very accommodating & an unforgettable experience! - We visited Boracay for the very first time with my husband and my elderly mom. I paid for my mom’s ticket but only for her to take the ride with us, not to dive. They accommodated us and even with the rough waves, staff (Mark I believe) was so kind, very gracious and super helpful! Thank you for an unforgettable experience!!

Helmet Diving- Once in a lifetime experience - We have been to Boracay 4 times, but this was the first time we tried the Helmet Diving...The experience was a mixture of good and bad and I wouldn't recommend it to people with heart disorder, breathing difficulty or people suffering from panic attack. It was a memorable experience for me but honestly had a hard time breathing at first and "hated the feeling of my ear drums exploding" as we dive deeper into the ocean. I feared for my teen age daughter when I saw her going down and seemed having difficulty as well. After a few seconds in the water, things began to settle and you get accustomed with the pressure. It was a once in a lifetime experience for me.

Amazing underwater walk experience! - This was such a fun and amazing experience! The host company was communicative from pre-planning, booking, confirmation, day of the activity, and follow-up. I wanted an underwater adventure that is fairly easy and this was just right. I met up with their representatives on the beach after confirming by messenger who they are. (They were in the red shirts that day). They walked me up to the check-in booth, took some pictures on the beach, walked to the floating dock, to the speed boat to the platform way off the coast. The instructors were clear on what to expect including how to walk underwater. The underwater team was communicative with the hand signals, we took lots of pictures and a video, fed the fishes, explored a little, and within 20 minutes I was ready to go back up. It was beautiful down there! They have their own underwater camera setup and they transfer it to your phone when you get back up. I recommend this for those who are in between the snorkeling and scuba vibes. Since they all work together and it's fairly affordable, I encourage tipping whenever you can.

Avoid at all costs or at least read my advices before - Just tried helmet diving in Boracay with my wife, and that was the most terrible and traumatic activity ever.
Here is our story.
We paid 1000 pesos each (20 USD), which is fair, to an operator on the beach (Station 3).
We immediately embarked on a super fast boat which deposited us on a platform, like 300 meters away from the beach.
There, we briefly (3 minutes) got briefed about pressure management, holding the helmet all along, underwater gestures and no right to walk backwards. No issue so far as we already experienced scuba diving (which I clearly encourage to experience) yesterday and the principles are mostly the same.
So I went first into the water, going down the ladder, and the diving master put the helmet on my shoulders (just for information, this is a cubic helmet with glass all around).
Next step, diving.
Basically, you fall down. Fast. To the ground, which is like 6 to 8 m deep.
No rope or anything holds you.
I could manage the fast pressure equalizing thanks to my long experience with snorkeling, but my wife and my friend suffered. Like a lot.
So if like us there is no rope or anything to allow you to control diving speed, be sure you can handle this. Of course the instructor has not given any warning about that...
But that's not the worst part. I could handle the pressure.
No the worst was the crazy loudness of the helmet. It was like a constant scream, loud as if I put my ears just next to a discotheque speaker. And whatever I did, impossible to mitigate it. It hurt SO BAD, and I was alone in the bottom, as the diving master didn't wait for my OK or, in that case, NOK signal before leaving to bring my wife and my friend down.
Long long seconds after, we finally managed to alert the diving master with the underwater sign.
His first reaction: asking us to smile to take a picture. And he took his pictures. I attached one to this feedback ;)
He finally brought me up (but dropped me before I can grab the ladder which was just too high, so I fell down to the bottom - but managed to keep my hell-met on my shoulders, so no major issue, and eventually went up to the platform at the second attempt).
I told them what happened and they said (be ready, hold something tight): they said it's normal, it's just oxygen supply.
I could barely hear them and since then I've heard tinnitus (for 1h+ now, no improvement).
I checked on the internet, you are supposed to hear the bubbles of the oxygen Hen breathing, and supply when you inhale, just like for scuba diving. Nothing more.
Plus, no one else than me experienced that noice from hell.
My wife and my friend immediately came back too because of their pressure pain. So we paid to stay 20 minutes and stayed less than 3 minutes (to be large), in pain.
They obviously gave a dysfunctional device, they knew it and they considered I was the problem, so no refunding for anyone.
That's clearly a pure scam in my opinion, and a dangerous one.
I'm sorry I don't know the name of the diving company. If we can call that a company, but if you see cube helmet, please, try it on the boat BEFORE you dive (if you hear an unbearable noise, report), and ensure you master very well pressure equalizing.
