Mango Dive & Bungalow

Several things stand out as why this was such a great week. First, the entire staff was friendly, courteous and very willing help any way possible. I was finding Gili T confusing and they were there to answer all my silly questions. I took advantage of the dive school to earn my Basic Diver certification. Diving was a little scary and my instructors both provided exactly the encouragement I needed to make it through each step of the process. Sebastian was my instructor day one. I really appreciated how he paid attention to both verbal and non-verbal indications that I needed reassurance. With his help, I quickly overcame the fear and was able to enjoy the training and the first dive. On the second day, Victor was exactly the right person for my training. The two instructors took the time to communicate my progress and what I needed to work on so that Day 2 progressed seamlessly. The entire experience was exhilarating and felt very safe because of the kindness and expertise of these instructors. Snorkeling was just a 2-minute walk from my room. I saw turtles every day along the shore between Mango and Turtle Point. Lastly, I was super happy that my standard room was quiet, nice air-conditioned and very comfortable. The unheated shower was not a problem as the weather provided all the heat I wanted.

Had a wonderful time, friendly staff and pleasant clean rooms, loved the outside bathroom and shower. Pleasant night sleep not noisy away from main area. Plunge pool refreshing, beach access and loungers. We went on two snorkelling trips highly recommend staying there

Good accommodation with a brilliant vibe. We returned here after visiting 2 years ago and still love it. Very accommodating and friendly staff. Clean room with very cool outdoor bathroom. Right on the beach with private (free!) beach loungers and towels.

I had a wonderful diving experience in Mango Dive, and a significant part of the credit goes to my instructor, Alvaro. He made the entire experience much easier for me. I was so nervous but he made me feel so safe and sure about what I was doing. Alvaro's sense of humor, easygoing nature, and utmost professionalism was the best. He had a knack for making everything feel effortlessly easy and creating a relaxing atmosphere. I can't praise him enough and would highly recommend him as an instructor! If you go here you need to ask for Alvaro. Alvaro was the best!!!

1st and best diving experience ever! I am a non-swimmer and I didn’t I would ever be able to do this! Fede was amazingly patient and made me feel safe. He promised and he did stay with me the whole time before, during and after the dive. I cried so much after, it was that incredible!
