AMAZING STAY at Happy dive. This place is truly paradise! Gorgeous direct view on the bay, swimming and snorkeling is great. The bungalows were comfortable and clean, the staff is very nice and cooks delicious meals. Claudia is also an amazing diving instructor for beginners, we had a refresher and went on two dives that I will remember forever! We were honestly surprised to get such an experience and such a beautiful place for such a fair price. Highly recommand !

We stayed and dived for one week. Reasonable prices, good service always with a smile and incredible diving. Claudia is truly passionate and it shows: world-class diving at beautiful and diverse sites, long dives, plenty of amazing critters!

Happy Dive Retreat (aka Ankermi Happy Dive) the best place around here. The diving is awesome. The food is great. Planned to stay 6 days, then stayed for two weeks. Thank you Claudia for everything.
