Evolution Dive and Beach Resort

We had five days diving with Evolution. The early morning thresher shark dive is absolutely impressive and insane. I also like all the dive sites apart from thresher shark. I dove with Albert, Elgen, Vicent, Harvey, all of them did really great jobs. Overall the dive center is no doubt professional, I would like to come back again for further technical diving courses as well. It’s a bit shame we booked too late so we couldn’t stay in their resort, otherwise will be more convenient for diving.

Very well run beach front resort with friendly and efficient staff. Spacious rooms with effective and quiet a/c, powerful ceiling fan, comfortable beds and plenty of storage space. Restaurant serves tasty, good quality food, quickly, even when busy. Excellent owner operated dive operation offering comprehensive training for every level of experience. I completed the advanced trimix class with Matt Reed who proved to be an excellent instructor and educator. Highly recommended.

This place is awesome. Incredibly professional! Leif, my instructor, is unbelievable! He has tons of experience, not only diving (of course), but as a school teacher. He is kind and amazingly thorough--and instructional skills are top notch! Evolution is one of a kind! The place is gorgeous and very very well taken care of. I didn't stay there but the rooms look awesome. The owner Matt is a legend. And Leif is a gem- they are blessed to have him! Look no further- you found your dive center. :)

I spent 4 days diving with Evolution- 2 days completing my AOW and Nitrox with Gino, followed by the trip to Gato Island and Kimud and Monad Shoals, both with divemaster Josh. Evolution had been recommended highly on a group for divers, so I decided to dive with them on my trip to Malapascua. Right from first contact with them, the team was so incredibly helpful and quick with responses to any of my messages or questions. The equipment I rented was in very good condition. Instructor Gino was incredibly patient with me during dives, taught me so much and gave really helpful feedback- I am now a much better diver thanks to his help. He was also great at pointing out interesting things on all dives I did with him. He took video of me on the Thresher Shark dive which was great as well. I also really enjoyed my first ever night dive. Divemaster Josh was also very patient and helpful on the Gato Island trip and my second adventure out to see the sharks. We were blessed to spend 25mins in the presence of a Tiger Shark at Monad Shoal. Everyone was incredibly stoked when we got back on the boat. The vibes were high even though it was raining and the sea quite rough. All staff in reception and on the boat were very helpful. I really felt well taken care of at all times- very grateful! Food at The Craic House at Evolution is wonderful, as was food that was prepared on the boat and given out during surface intervals- especially lunch at Gato Island. Many people had dietary requirements and they were very well taken care of too. All in all, I can't recommend Evolution Malapascua more highly. Book this place for your dive trip in Malapascua- you won't regret it! And to any of the Evolution staff if you read this- thank you for everything. I had the most incredible time and it means more to me than you'll ever know

Loved the hospitality and enthusiasm of the staff and dive crew, especially their eye for details such as remembering our names, allocating labelled gear baskets for each of us and supporting us every step of our dive trip! The drinks and food were delicious and large portions, and the bed and pillow blanket was so comfortable. Special shout out to dive instructors Vince and Elgin for looking out for me underwater all the time. Thank you Evo!

Great dive hotel Great dive hotel on a lovely beach. Communication prior to stay was excellent, room was clean and comfortable and bar restaurant was awesome. Most importantly, they were brilliant to dive with - the first boat out in the morning and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again when we’re next in Malapascua
