  We have just completed our PADI open water certification with Diving First. From our research we knew we wanted to do our confined swims in a pool rather than the sea and from the first point of contact with Claudius I felt reassured in choosing them to dive with as his communication was amazing. Although we had done a couple of discovery dives a few years ago, I was still very nervous, but have been reassured throughout, even when I had a full blown panic attack (both in the pool and sea). We were lucky to have Claudius as instructor and Kezia and Oli supporting us, their calm, clear instructions and patience when having to repeat things or wait for us definitely got us through to now being certified 😊. The dive sites are truely beautiful, the mantas, sharks, turtles, fish, coral, and even the eels will never be forgotten. If you’re thinking about it, just do it .

  I just completed my Advanced Open Water with Diving First and honestly… what an incredible experience! From start to finish, everything was fun, smooth, and full of good vibes. Huge shoutout to the best boss Claudius, the best instructor Ricardo, and the best buddy Sheldon – you guys made this adventure unforgettable. The whole team was amazing, always positive, professional, and just great to be around. The dives were absolutely stunning, I enjoyed every single moment underwater. I recommend this place 20,000% to anyone thinking about diving or improving their skills! Stay exactly as you are – I won’t forget you. See you again somewhere under the sea! 🌊🤿

  We had an amazing experience diving with Diving First Labuan Bajo! My 11-year-old son did two dives with Claudius who was absolutely fantastic — calm, patient, and incredibly professional. He made my son feel completely safe and confident underwater, and the joy on my son’s face after each dive said it all. The rest of the team were also wonderful — friendly, organized, and attentive to every detail from start to finish. Everything ran smoothly, from the equipment setup to the boat and briefings. The speed boat was genius only 30mins to first dive sites! We saw Manta ray, moray, shark, turtle, puffa fish, millions of fish and some of the best coral reefs I've seen. Thank you to Claudius and the whole Diving First crew for making it such a memorable and special experience for us both. Highly recommend them for families and anyone wanting a safe, enjoyable dive in Komodo! 🦈🐟🐠🐡

  Very responsive crews and great instructor! They were all very friendly and nice, I took my open water certification here and soo glad I did, Ricardo (my instructor) was very patient and helpful during my training and always make sure I was taken care of but also gave room for me to learn by myself and explore. Superb experience! Would love to dive with the rest of the crew next time 🥰🥰
