Great first Scuba Diving experience in Costa Rica

Everything went smoothly, every detail and step of the experience was just as they had previously described on the phone. Our guide Siri was amazing, super relaxed and easy. I went with my three boys, who were diving for the first time and Siri perfectly anticipated how everything was going to happen. The boat is very comfy and wate, punch and snacks, including the great costarican pineapple were a great fit. Great experience overall.

Diving in the Catalina Islands

An incredible experience! Everything was very well organized and I enjoyed the diving very much. I want to especially thank Fercho, who was very kind, patient, and attentive throughout the entire activity. He was always making sure that I felt comfortable and safe, making the experience even better. We were able to see sea turtles, pufferfish, octopuses, eels. I totally recommend it :)

Best Choice for CR

This was easily the coolest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life. My instructors, Siri and Marie, were incredible! They were great teachers and made us all feel so safe and comfortable. We practiced in the pool, and as nervous as I was, they made everything very accessible. I’d recommend diving with Siri to everyone!! They took some amazing pictures of our trip, so we didn’t have to worry about any of that. The videos of the wildlife turned out fantastic- more than worth what we paid.

Awesome experience

As a first-time scuba diving experience, I really enjoyed it. The whole experience was awesome, and my instructor, Siri, was really great, clear, and made me feel safe and comfortable throughout. I had the chance to see so many things, I highly recommended.

Perfect First Scuba Experience

I had such a great time and couldn’t have asked for a better first scuba experience. Siri was a fantastic guide and made everything feel comfortable, safe, and easy from start to finish. She helped me feel so much more confident than I expected to as a first-time diver, and she pointed out all kinds of amazing critters I would have completely missed on my own. She also took incredible photos and videos so I could remember the experience forever. Not only was Siri wonderful, but the entire crew aboard the boat was warm, welcoming, and professional. I highly recommend this experience to anyone interested in scuba or snorkeling — especially if it’s your first time!

Fantastic experience

Risky was fantastic! Recommend him 100%. We all had scuba dived before but it was nice to do a pool refresher for about an hour. We practice if our mouthpiece fell out how to bring it back in and had to clear our masks. We then drove about 10 minutes to the beach and took a 45 minute boat to the Catalina islands. Our first dive was done nice and slow so we could work out clearing our ears and had to send an ascent safely. Second dive was a total blast and whiskey took lots of photos and even saw a manta ray which was epic! And some sharks too. Risky was wonderful taking photos for us for an extra charge and then uploaded them to us that night. Had some fruit and cookies and drinks after the first dive. Felt very safe. There was a small family of snorkelers with us as well and they appeared well attended to as well while we dove
