Amazing dive and amazing instructor
My group had a great time going scuba diving! I really enjoyed having a female instructor there as well. Both our guides were very nice and accommodating though! Would definitely go diving again.
Steven was great to dive with. Had a great time on my first time dive. Will definitely do it again..
Nick was our instructor, he was very good experience explaining the how to and the what ifs. Once we were under water Nico was good at pointing out objects and fish for us. Great experience!
We had such a good first time experience. He was patient with both of us. He adjust our experience to level with our comfortability as first timers. We were able to see so many cool creatures and stayed underwater for quite some time.
I'm a certified diver but my wife had never dived before. Alfonso took the time to be very patient with her. We had a great time. It was nice to get a bit of a refresher course as well. Highly recommend for any beginner. It was a great way to see Aruba from a different angle.
I was picked up at my hotel Wind Creek Aruba by Alfonso and driven to the beach. This for non-certified divers. Both instructors are people able to certify divers. This an abbreviated version of a certification dive not a real certification dive. Steve did a great indepth safety lesson. Explained in detail all of the concepts and physics of diving. I was diving with Alfonso. He’s fantastic. We did some scuba basics in shallow water first. Adjust the pressure in your ears, adjusting buoyancy. and hand signals. We were under water for 45 mins. I saw a small octopus, sand dollars and a star fish. At least 3 huge schools of fish that surround me. One school of small silver fish was so dense it was like swimming into a fog bank. I actually lost track of Alfonso for a minute. i saw one green back turtle at least three times. Once swimming and two times when he was on the bottom eating sea grass. Really great experience.
Great diving site wirh turtles, sea of fish like sardines, a bunch of fish I can’t name and then some, like snakes and eels. Gorgeous dive was borderline asking myself if it was a VR experience but it’s real! Kudos for the patience to the i director to us newbies.
With my daughters aged 14 and 13, we made this experience unforgettable. Nico, our instructor was always attentive to us all being comfortable. A great professional!
The gear was heavier than I remember from previous dives. Access to the water was via a rocky set of about 6 wet and slippery "stairs" and was hazardous. Surf was rough and made the final gear donning a challenge. It was the same way coming out. Perhaps use of fiberglass tanks would lighten the load, but access/egress conditions come with that particular dive site. The instructor did say that diving off a boat would have been less of a challenge. The dive was a great experience. Lots to see with the reef and its variety of sea life.... turtles, crabs, colorful and interesting fish, sea urchins, and a Moray Eel. This was the most I have seen underwater in my diving career of maybe 5 dives. Richard was a very professional and experienced dive-master and was very accommodating to the new diver on our trip, helping her to properly document the experience. The equipment was all in good shape and everything needed was provided.
