We had Shane as our dive instructor and he did an amazing job. Half of our group took to diving like fish and the other half freaked out were unable to dive for the majority of the time. He remained very calm and was able to monitor both sets of people appropriately. The experience was absolutely amazing and we half of us will definitely be diving again 🤣. 10/10 recommend.
Talk about an experience of a lifetime. Simon was very informative and made you feel comfortable for your first dive!
Shane was extremely knowledgeable and patient! We got to see beautiful coral and tons of fish. I was very nervous but Shane kept me calm and me and my husband ended up with private dive experience. Hands down best place for your first dive! We would recommend to every first timers. It was our 20th anniversary and wouldn’t change anything! Shane has tons of experience around the world wouldn’t have asked for a better instructor!
The whole experience was great. Our dive leader who I believe was named Simon was amazing and embodied pretty much everything id think a surfer would be: laid back, encouraging, fun, and patient. We saw some manta rays and tons of fish and coral. He made it easy for my brother, step dad, and myself to dive for the first time and my mom hadn't dove in 40 years. Definitely a 10/10 experience and would definitely do it again. Plus, Simon has a pretty cool YouTube channel that he uses to capture relaxing videos that you can put on in the background.
Phenomenal experience with Simon smalls. Well worth every moment. The best excursions we had on our seven day trip. I highly recommend Simon for anyone who is looking to do scuba diving.
Easy, safe, friendly, a pleasure. We made two dives, seen eagle rays, turtels and much more, wont be the last time
Simon was amazing. He got me in the water even after I was scared of the ocean. He was awesome if I could give you 100 stars I would. even though I was pretty terrible, he still got me through it and had an extreme amount of patience like crazy patient Simon was overall awesome and I 100% do this again and 100% would recommend
We were first time divers and were super nervous. Simon was simply awesome. Demonstrated everything so patiently and kept tabs on us all along. He is absolutely the person to go with for beginner lessons.
5 Stars! Shane was amazing and a very thorough and easy to understand teacher. The beach had surprisingly good wildlife including eagle rays and good corral reef formations. Highly recommended.
Amanda was an awesome instructor! She was very patient with my 12 year old son and it was a great first scuba diving experience for him!
Aloha, thank you for sharing your experience diving with Amanda and Banyan Tree Divers! For young kids especially, it is so important that the experience feels safe, welcoming, and fun so that they connect well with scuba from the get-go. We are happy that you and your son had a great first dive together. We hope he keeps diving!
