Amazing Experience at Watercolors Boracay - PADI Advanced Certification with Jimmy I recently completed my PADI Advanced Certification at Watercolors Boracay, and it was an incredible experience. The resort is beautiful, located right on the beach with crystal-clear waters, perfect for both relaxing and diving. My instructor, Jimmy, was fantastic. He was professional, patient, and passionate about diving, which made learning enjoyable and stress-free. He tailored the course to my skill level and provided great guidance during each dive. The dive sites were stunning, with vibrant marine life and colorful coral reefs. Thanks to Jimmy's expert instruction, I gained confidence in my diving skills and felt fully prepared for each challenge. I highly recommend Watercolors Boracay for anyone looking to advance their diving skills in a beautiful setting!
Great experience

Thank you for the crew for taking care of my husband and I - from the briefing to taking us to the boat, ensuring safety of everyone and being super patient. The diving resort is also a nice in-between resting spot - with food, drinks and an amazing view of the beach. Watercolors is a PADI partner so everything will be under PADI instructions - special thanks to Jimmy for making our time extra amazing and special!
Just Perfect!

It was a really great experience! The Dive Instructor was very caring and took as much time as needed. Communication and organization was perfect. I can only recommend them and let me tell you I had several experiences that were way worse. If you visit Boracay and want to dive, choose then you won’t regret it.
Great instructor!

I did my Advanced Open Water course with Jimmy. It was a lot of fun and Jimmy supported me really well. He explained everything really well and gave me a good and safe feeling while diving. The diving equipment from watercolors was also in very good condition and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. I can only recommend Watercolors and especially Jimmy as an instructor!
ONLY place you should consider getting the PADI Diver certificate in Boracay!!

What an amazing experience!!! I will not trust my life underwater with anyone else unless it's Jimmy.. Jimmy.. oh and Jimmy! Also shout out to our boy Jacob! I came in with the least expectation knowing I'm terrified swimming on the ocean, but having the right people with great attention to details especially when it comes to safety made me feel comfortable and at ease. Ideally the full course is 4 days but time was tight and we had to crash it in 3 days. And it was definitely a challenge! The knowledge reviews is as much important as the practical diving skills you'll need for the course. I won't recommend less than 4 days if you want to enjoy a bit more chill time in Boracay. Also, I wear contact lenses and need to take them off during the dive but they have a prescription mask available for me to use, how cool was that?!? I was incredibly tired on our first day, it doesn't get easier on the 2nd but towards the end of the course it was a lot more fun and everything was worth it! Ladies.... NO diving with long nails. Men... ideally trim your beards or shave if off. Be ready for a few blisters from the fins too. Have an open mind, get curious and enjoy this milestone in starting your diving experience. You are in good hands with Watercolors, with Jimmy and his team!!
The best intro to Scuba Diving/PADI in all of Boracay!

My 11 yr old son and I had the best experience getting our PADI certification from Jimmy! He was super patient and knowledgeable and was a great teacher. Also, the folks at WaterColors were so hospitable and friendly. This experience was such an accomplishment for us and one of the best activities in Boracay!

Great dive shop. Very professional and friendly staff. Got my PADI nitrox specialization here with Jenny, who is the most awesome dive master. Went home with some really nice underwater photos made by Bo.
