The staff were all amazing! Friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great time - got to see sharks, rays and even dolphins!
Thank you very much for diving with us!
We had a wonderful snorkeling experience!The guides were wonderful! They took good care of us. On the boat ride to Catalina Island we saw dolphins and huge turtles. We saw so many fish while snorkeling! The water was not totally clear, but it was still a good experience. I just thought I’d mention that if you are prone to motion sickness, be sure to take your Dramamine! Catalina Island is just a BIG rock sticking out of the ocean, so you are never on the island. There are always waves while on the boat and while snorkeling
Great to hear you enjoyed this adventure!
Great crew and experience. We saw dolphins, rats, a turtle, and many fish. Amazing weather. The water clarity isn’t as good as some other places (e.g., Hawaii, Thailand, etc), but it was definitely worth it.
Thanks a lot !!!
The crew is excellent. Knowledgeable and friendly. There are a lot of fish to see but the turbidity is a little high so visibility is not excellent. Jessica was an excellent guide and kept everyone safe and accounted for at all times. Pretty good value for Costa Rica snorkelling.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed your time with our crew. Providing a friendly, knowledgeable, and safety-focused experience is always our top priority, so it means a lot to know that came through. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Jessica — she’ll be thrilled to hear she made such a positive impact on your trip. Visibility can vary depending on ocean conditions, but we’re glad you were still able to enjoy the abundant marine life Costa Rica has to offer. Every day in the ocean is a little different, and that’s part of the adventure! Thanks again for joining us — we hope to welcome you back for even clearer waters next time!
Awesome experience! They warned us ahead of time, that the conditions might not be favorable to see fish when snorkeling cuz of the wind. We could switch to a sunset cruise instead. But we said we’d go anyway! Seen lots of fish! The guide was awesome! Rough ride out but after that great!
Thanks a lot for your nice words!
Had a great time. Staff were friendly and informative always making sure we were okay and having fun. We saw lots of different fish and the boat ride was very enjoyable. Very good cakes and fruits on board.
Thank you very much Andrea!
Luis was our instructor and we loved him. He was very kind, patient and quickly put us in confidence. It was an extraordinary experience and we look forward to starting again. I advise everyone to try it at least once in their life. The team was amazing! Thank you.
Merci beaucoup pour cette review !!
I’d give the entire staff 5 stars, from start to finish. Magda was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the fish we were seeing. The water was cloudy making visibility tough but with so many different types of fish I understand why Catalina’s is so popular. We even saw a reef shark.
Thank you very much for your review! we know sometimes ocean conditions does not help but we try our best to make everyone feel safe and enjoy the tour . Happy new year!!
My family of 4 booked the half day snorkel trip with Be Water Diving. What an experience! The trip started with a 30min smooth and acenic ride to the Catalina Islands. We saw 2 large turtles in the way. Once we got to the first destination, we all jumped in and snorkelled. We saw many pools of tropical fish, puffers, starfish and other fish. We then went to another location and snorkeled more. The crew were professional, kind, funny and reassuring. We felt very safe the whole time. Snacks and drinks were provided too. I highly recommend this trip. My 19 yr old said this was the best part of our trip to CR which says a lot because we did a ton! Shoutout to Jessie! Thank you 🙏

Merci beaucoup !!!
