Amazing!!!

Mark_R, June 2023

Outstanding experience!! The instructors were very professional and attentive. They took extra time to coach some of the people in the group that were a bit more nervous and made sure everyone felt safe. The two dives were great with tons of variety of sea life. I would highly recommend them!!

Patient and Kind

Lisa_U, Mar 2023

I had a wonderful time learning scuba and seeing the two reefs.. Alma was so patient as my ears would not regulate and I was getting very frustrated but she was a champ. Once I was shown how to be patient with my ears I enjoyed the whole experience and will definitely try it again!! Thanks Alma for the whole experience..

Memorable bucket list adventure with Excellent Instructors

Marco_M, Mar 2022

This was an amazing experience. We had Jack as main instructor who was excellent in his scuba instruction with great personality, which made it more memorable. He was assisted by Geovanni (Italian young lady) who consistently assisted in getting our buoyancy down pat. The day started with roughly 1.5 hours of pool instruction, a lunch break and then off to two (2) dives. The two dives were amazing, with aqua blue water and schools of fish, manta rays and reefs. Tough to go back to snorkeling once you've been scuba. Would definitely use them again.

Scuba made easy!

Stacy_O, Dec 2021

Very knowledgeable and friendly instructors! The scuba process was broken down in a very easy and understandable way. Once at the reef we saw huge eels, schools of tropical fish and many different types of coral. We had a blast!

Fabulous but stressful since it was first attempt at scuba diving.

David_M, Oct 2021

The instructor Sam was amazing. His explanation of equipment, skills, etc. were amazing. In the actual dive I did not perform very well and it became stressful for me. I was breathing to hard and it was difficult to find neutral buoyancy. However, the ocean was beautiful. My bad, not the instructor and guide.

Amazing Dive
