The base was announced to us as the highlight of the three weeks, but we were disappointed with these expectations.
We had the feeling that our group (30 people) had spontaneously turned up at the base and wanted to dive (but this had been planned and announced a year ago). There weren't enough guides, so the base owner dived with us himself, but that didn't really help us because he couldn't find anything (he communicated this openly himself).
You should always follow the guide and also look and take photos, otherwise the guides won't show you anything because they think you're not interested at all.
However, I can say that he always did his best to please us. It was often a bit chaotically organized and I would advise checking bottles and equipment before leaving the boat, but everything always worked out somehow. You should check the final bill, with us something didn't fit somewhere.
The pool at the base was not usable, but this could also be due to the fact that the typhoon had previously caused a lot of damage there.
The dive sites made up for a lot of this, however, as they are almost exclusively secret sites. Many of them were found by the guides and are often named after the guides or their parents. I actually saw the most fish here and my macro heart leapt for joy.
All in all, the base was fine, they made an effort and tried to make everything possible, but as I said, there was still a lot of room for improvement in terms of organization.
