Balai Lawom

Reserved accommodation but reception looked surprised when we got there. So we decided to book on another place nearby which was much much better. This place was too crowded, looks like they overbooked, so much so the caretakers don't know how to organize. Also did a fun dive with them, no briefing and they literally just ask you to pay and then say do whatever you want. Safety diver to fun diver ratio is pretty much negligible. I will never recommend this place to anyone.

It's a challenging experience doing freediving with the people here. Very accommodating and friendly coaches. Don't mind the hostel dude, this is not what you came from Freediving, fun diving, scuba diving, you'll never be bored. You'll definitely love the food and drinks too!!

5/5! Accomdating staff, friendly and reliable free diving coaches! Don't forget to bring necessities such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, towel, plastic bag for wet clothes. Food is great as well!

Balai Lawom is a sanctuary for freedivers, offering a serene base from which to explore the underwater wonders nearby. With its comfortable accommodations and supportive, like-minded community, it's the perfect spot to rest and recharge between dives. An ideal haven for the adventurous soul, Balai Lawom enhances every freediver’s journey with its charm and hospitality.

If you are looking for a fun place to freedive, eat, and meet new friends this is the place to be. Just 2 to 3 hours drive from our place Imus to Mabini. Accommodation is affordable and staff are really friendly. But if you want to relax or need a quiet place for work away this isn't the place for you as cozy as the place can be, since most of the peeps that come here are in groups the place can get rowdy so I may suggest that you find another place to stay.
