Don't walk, run. Wait swim to underdog divers !
Alan took my wife and me on our very first scuba diving experience, and honestly, it was absolutely incredible!
From the moment we started, Alan took the time to walk us through everything, explain the ropes, and make sure we felt comfortable and confident. He was professional, knowledgeable, and safety-focused, but also made the whole experience so much fun. We spent the day laughing, enjoying ourselves, and taking in an experience we’ll never forget.
What started as a one-time vacation activity has officially turned into a new obsession. I’m already planning to add scuba diving to every vacation from now on — and we’re actually going back for a second dive while we’re still here in Aruba!
If you’re considering diving, especially for your first time, I genuinely couldn’t recommend Underdog Divers more. Alan made the experience unforgettable.
10/10 experience. Absolutely worth it! 🤿🌊
Operator response
Thank you so much for this amazing review! Alan is going to love reading this one. There’s nothing better than watching someone go from “let’s try this” to “okay, when can we dive again?”
Thank you for trusting Underdog Divers with your very first underwater adventure.
Everybody Wins!

Great experience with Alan
We dived with Alan, he was an amazing instructor! He explained everything very well and was very calm. In the beginning we were a little nervous, but he calmed us down and explained how to breathe better! It was a great experience and I would highly recommend it. I can’t stress enough of how exceptional of an instructor Alan was
Operator response
Thank you so much for this amazing review!
We’re especially happy to hear that Alan helped you overcome those first little nerves. He is great at making people feel comfortable and confident from the start.
We’ll definitely pass your kind words on to him, he’ll be super happy to hear them!
Thank you for trusting us with your dive experience. We hope this is just the beginning of many more dives for you!
Everybody Wins again!

Diving
It’s a great dive experience, the dive instructor Ray did a small review and basic training for which includes a well in-depth Dive gear, breathing exercises, regulator training, removing water from snorkle. Then went for a 45 minute dive, saw some turtles and Corel reefs! Staying calm while under water is very important!
Operator response
Thank you so much for the wonderful review!
We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed your dive with Ray! He’ll be glad to know that his refresher and the breathing and equipment practice helped you feel comfortable and confident underwater.
And of course, having some turtles join you for your 45 minute underwater adventure is always a nice bonus!
You’re absolutely right, staying calm and relaxed underwater makes such a big difference.
Thank you for diving with us, and we hope to see you again one day!

A Perfect First Dive at 56 — Thanks to Alan!
I had an amazing experience with Alan as my scuba diving instructor! At 56 years old, this was my very first scuba dive, so I was definitely nervous. Alan was absolutely wonderful at calming my nerves and making me feel comfortable from the very beginning.
He explained everything perfectly, was incredibly patient, and never made me feel rushed or intimidated. He was professional, polite, encouraging, and so much fun to be around! I always felt safe and in good hands.
Thanks to Alan, I was able to relax, enjoy the experience, and create an incredible memory. My first dive was even better than I imagined, and I’m already looking forward to doing it again!
If you’re a first-time diver—or nervous about trying it—I highly recommend Alan! He’s an amazing instructor and made all the difference. 🐠🤿
Operator response
Thank you so much for this! It sounds like Alan did exactly what Alan does best, keeping things relaxed, making you feel safe, and having a good laugh along the way!
Your very first dive at 56, and you’re already planning the next one?! We’ll definitely take that as a win! It was awesome having you with us, and we’re so happy you got to enjoy the underwater world without the nerves taking over.

Alan is the best guide!
I had Alan as a guide and as it was my first time Scuba diving he made it super simple and easy to follow. I was supposed to have a different guide but they called in sick. The manager messaged me and was going to cancel but with it being my last day they were able to squeeze me in with Alan. It was great and I thanked them for being so flexible and allowing me to still dive before I left!
Operator response
We’re really glad we managed to make this one happen! 😊
Sometimes the dive plan needs a little last minute reshuffling, and luckily we got you underwater on your last day in Aruba. Sounds like you were in good hands with Alan!
Thanks for being so understanding about the change, and for trusting us to squeeze in that first dive. Alan will be happy to hear he made your introduction to scuba a good one.
Safe travels, and hopefully this won’t be your last dive with us!

Such an amazing experience!
Had an awesome time! The dive felt surreal, the waters colors were vibrant, we saw hundreds of fish, turtles, and coral. The instructor Alan is awesome. I had trouble breathing underwater at first and he helped calm me down and taught me the best way to breathe. We also learned a few scenarios that might happen and how to resolve it. If you’re visiting Aruba you must experience it.
Operator response
Thank you so much for this amazing review! 💙 We’re so happy to hear you had such a memorable dive experience us and with Alan.
It’s completely normal to need a little time to get comfortable breathing underwater, especially on a first dive. We’re especially proud of our little company, where we focus on taking the time to help you relax, find your breathing rhythm, and build your confidence in the water. That’s exactly what we want our guests to experience, safe, calm, and supported.
Thank you for choosing Underdog Divers, and we hope you’ll come back for another adventure next time you’re on the island! 💙

Amazing time for first time diver
Such a great time, honestly one of the best parts of our Aruba trip. Getting to see the turtles and other wildlife up close was surreal, still can’t believe how close we got. Alan was our guide and he was awesome, super professional and really made our first dive feel comfortable. We’ll definitely be booking with them again next time we’re back on the island
