Today was windy and the sea was rough; when I asked if the conditions allowed for the trip, I was told that there were no problems and that we would still see something. Instead, the water was very murky, we couldn't see anything, and having the children with us, we left early because it was also tiring to stay in the water. The showers weren't working because there was a water shortage in San Juan... we asked for a partial refund but it wasn't possible. The instructor was nevertheless kind and helpful.
Such a wonderful experience. My guide was excellent and I highly recommend snorkeling. We saw so many bright fish and a small turtle.
Beautiful views, excellent guides and a really family fun experience. Anthony and Antonio really took care of us since it was many of the family’s first time snorkeling in the sea. There was low visibility since we were so close to shore but we still saw a lot of fish, crabs and underwater ruins. We also booked last minute and Monique really helped us quickly. We would definitely do it again.
Had a great time the guides were awesome guys got to see a turtle and plenty of fish.
Great time in the water! Would do again
amazing saw 2 turtles and lots fish with lots of underwater buildings, so cool
Great tour guides and very knowledgeable.
Our wonderful guide Christopher, super patient with everyone and gives such good instructions that even fixed some mistakes we used to previously make when snorkeling. The equipment too was excellent there never was any water in the mask and despite algae which at this season is very predominant, we could see fish very clearly.
We had a morning snorkeling adventure led by Myrka and she’s an absolute delight! The tour lasted around 2 hours and we spent about 45 mins to an hour in the water which was a great value for money. Myrka explained and demonstrated everything thoroughly and she’s got a great sense of humour. Once we got into the water she was extremely attentive and patient. She was well prepared and had brought an extra pair of goggles which came in very handy since I was having issues with my pair. And when I was still having issues with that pair she generously swapped goggles with me! This was very kind of her and it shows how willing she is to go above and beyond to ensure that everyone in our small group is comfortable and having fun. I would 10/10 recommend booking a tour with her and I’d expect that anyone from the Scuba Tours company is as experienced, polite, and wonderful as Myrka!
Dale and Antonio are awesome. We have done this tour twice this summer with our exchange students and they have been really good, patient and attentive each time. Would definitely recommend. PD. We saw two turtles!
