Loved Tama Dive!
I highly recommend Tama Dive if you’re looking for a fun dive in Tamarindo! Franko was my instructor and he was amazing! He was so helpful and made me feel so comfortable and even helped me work on some of my weaker skills. We got to see multiple sea turtles, eagle rays, pufferfish, eels, trumpet fish, starfish and many other cool critters. We even got to see dolphins and turtles on the surface while on the boat. It was a 2 tank dive and both locations were amazing. The crew on the boat was very professional and made everything go smoothly. I hope someday I can come back for the Bull shark experience!
Operator response

Spotting sea turtles, eagle rays, dolphins, and all those amazing critters makes for a truly unforgettable day, and we’re glad you got to experience it.
We’ll pass along your kind words to Franko and the crew—they’ll be happy to know they helped make your dive smooth and memorable. We’d love to welcome you back anytime, and hopefully you’ll get to join us for the Bull Shark experience on your next visit!
Safe travels until then, and happy diving!

Great Dive
We had a great dive out at Catalina islands. Gonza was great! We saw lots of sea life and a spotted ray.
Remo was also on the dive and he is very knowledgeable. I recommend TamaDive to anyone who is looking to dive in Tamarindo.

Great Dive Operator in excellent dive spots
Tama Dive is a good, professional Dive opperator in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. We dove in the Catalina Islands area. My son and I had our own divemaster to ourselves and she was great. OUr first dive was excellent with lots of variety of sealife. We saw black tip reef shark, ray, puffer fish, several eels, schooling fish, froupers, and colorful angel fish and tangs. Great visibility, slight current. The 2nd dive was at quatro rocks. Not as exiting as the first, medium current escorted us through the dive zone. The gear was quality. They served us fresh pineapple and crackers. I'd book with them again in the future. We were promised some photos and details but haven't received them yet in 3 days.
Operator response
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us and for highlighting the quality of our dives, gear, and team. We’re glad you enjoyed the Catalina Islands and the variety of marine life you encountered.
Regarding the photos, we’d like to clarify that they are offered as a complimentary service. Because they are free, it can sometimes take longer than three days for us to process and deliver them, especially during busy periods. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding, and we’ll make sure you receive them as soon as possible.
We look forward to welcoming you back for more dives in the future!

Great Experience
Franco was absolutely patient with my teenage children who needed a little reassurance since it had been a while since they last dived. Was able to see 6 white tip reef sharks, which was truly amazing! The current was pretty rough and water isn't crystal blue, so visibility wasn't the greatest but that's no fault of the company. I would recommend this company and crew for sure.
Operator response

Spotting six white tip reef sharks is definitely a highlight, and we’re glad you got to enjoy such an incredible encounter. While currents and visibility can vary, it’s wonderful to know that the crew helped make the dive memorable and safe. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Franko and the team.

Excellent Diving with Tamarindo Diving in Costa Rica
I am an experienced diver (more than 20 years). I went on a 14days tour to Costa Rica and fortunately, I had a fantastic diving trip with Tamarindo Diving Operation through Viator. I saw several white tip sharks, eagle ray, porcupine, tangs, puffer fish, butterfly fish, trumpet fish, eels, blue sea stars and many more…
Oh BTW, they even came and picked me up at my hotel. I love this team.

First time diving in Central America
