Evolution Dive and Beach Resort

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

Right on the beach, clean and convenient.

Evolution is a truly pretty, warm and very comfortable place to stay. Clean, tidy, well organised, with good (quality) food and drinks choice. Of course, the service is excellent as well. The dive base is run diligently and efficiently by a great staff. Personal "coup de coeur": this place is environmentally-friendly as much as possible... it is even difficult to spot it coming from the sea :) Hopefully, we'll come back one day.

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!

We completed our SDI open water course here, first time ever diving and couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Evolution. Right from the start it felt very professional but very personal. Gino (our instructor) and Ross (a dive master in training) were great fun and clearly experienced divers. They gave detailed feedback so we could progress quickly through the course to do the thresher shark dive, which was just incredible! All the other members of staff were always very helpful and made the overall experience very pleasant. Would thoroughly recommend and I just hope we will be back sometime soon!

We took our shoes off on arrival and put them back on only at departure. Beautiful place, great staff, and excellent diving. The sharks, wow!

One of the best PADI 5 Star resorts we have ever been to! Clean rooms, amazing food, excellent Diving Equipment anfäd affordable prices. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Even transport organization was done by Evolution. Nothing to complain about. Our Dive Instructor Kleng and also all other dive masters are doing a great job. In teaching and also protecting the ocean! Of course we have seen the Thresher Sharks (basically 100% hitrate in our dives) sometimes more than 7 in one dive! Makro diving is also fantastic in Malapascua! Dear Evolution Team: thanks for making our holidays so unique! Stay as you are and keep safe!!! All the Best! Franzi & Fabian

If I could leave six stars I would. Delicious and nutritious vegetarian meals, experienced and wonderful local dive masters, a resort that cares about their staff and the island of Malapascua. Did my advanced SDI here and it was wonderful
