We had a great time diving with Gwen and Greg. Their prices are waay cheaper than in Tofo (2650 with their gear + reef tax) and they’re nice people. We did a refresher pool session with them at a very reasonable rate. Would recommend!

Really nice small dive center. We came in to do a double tank dive only for 1 day but enjoyed it so much that we decided to go for our advanced course (which is another 5 dives, which we did in 3 days).
Greg is such a nice teacher and tries to get the most out of every dive. If there is anything particular you want to do (such as a night dive), he will try to make it work if the conditions are good.
Prices seem very reasonable. Advanced course is about USD 350 (23.500 Mets).

Wonderful place to do a try dive with Greg and Gwen. I am a non swimmer and they both helped me a lot!! We camped at lighthouse and just drove down to do the try dive split two days as the weather was better the next morning. Just remember to leave before high tide!! Hahaha we were having such a good time chatting everyone forgot

What a wonderful dive centre! Well equipped, spotlessly clean centre and super friendly, caring and knowledgable owners providing dives also for just 2 customers. Greg tries to get the most out of each dive for his clients, stops for whales, dolphins etc on the way out to the reef and really cares for his customers having a great time.
We did a double tank dive, which was 2250Mets for each dive and 400Mets for the gear for the day, so 4900Mets for two dives including gear (so 9800Mets for the day for the two of us). There where no far reef surcharges or anything extra because it was just the two of us. We communicated beforehand and his policy about pricing was completely transparent.
Our dives where extraordinary and we highly recommend diving with Greg and enjoying Gwen's lemonade later;-)

Just to add - you get a 10% discount applied to the prices below if you stay at the Palm View Lodge. We did two dives yesterday and saw a ray, loads of giant honeycomb eels, potato bass and parrot fish (among others!). Also saw whales really close to the boat and a turtle whilst we were on the boat. To get out into the water you have to do a surf launch which was a cool experience and we also did drift diving for our second dive. Highly recommended!!

Excellent DiveRAID centre - Greg is a dual qualified Raid and Padi instructor so he can teach either course - whether you want to do open water or advanced etc.

Normal dive costs 2,250 meticals (£29.50) without gear or 2,650 meticals (£34.70) including full gear hire.

Really down to earth guy. The dive centre is not as big as the other dive centres in Tofo so you get the benefit of having a more tailor-made course / dive.
