    I had an absolutely amazing and exceptional first-time diving experience thanks to this fantastic team: Diver Eduardo and Boat Captain Sérgio. ​They were both incredibly cooperative and friendly throughout the trip. It is very clear that they possess extensive diving experience and professionalism. ​Despite this being my first time, they patiently gave me complete instructions and made sure I understood every step. Once we were underwater, I never felt scared for a moment! Eduardo stayed right by my side, checking on me every few minutes, which was extremely reassuring. ​I highly recommend this team, especially for first-time divers. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable experience.

    Amazing!

    MarkusHolm_F, Jan 2026
    Great diving with good instructors! There are few people each time which gives you a great amount of both diving and snorkling! We saw a lot of fish and a lot of turtles! Could even do it again!

    Professional, Caring, and Highly recommended

    We sincerely thank you Rebecca! Check back often!

    Super cool experience

    Aja_A, Feb 2024
    Had a very cool experience, didn’t last as long as listed but it was plenty of time, saw a couple kinds of corals, tons of colorful tropical fish, crabs, eels, belt fish, and got to pet a sea turtle. Especially cool experience if you’re from the US where a diving experience is something you can’t even do without pricey training and certifications, although I enjoyed it so much I want to get those things now anyway!

    Scuba diving with turtles

    Mikko_H, Jan 2024
    Chill trip to the surrounding of Xavier island. Saw turtles and a lot of colorful fishes. It was safe for beginner.

    Wonderful underwater diving experience

    Monica_Z, Feb 2026
    Wonderful experience, the instructor who accompanies on the dive and the driver of the boat are the best of the best. Congratulations and heartfelt thanks.

    Considero que este es el tipo de experiencias que no se olvidan, hice este tour con mi hija, y ambos quedamos fascinados. Los ayudantes son muy amables y profesionales, si no entiendes algo lo explican hasta que entiendas. Totalmente recomendado.

    Buena experiencia, buen tour, no hay garantía de que se verán tortugas

    Carlos_C, May 2024
    Ambos guías fueron amables y mantuvieron una buena disposición durante el tour. Por condiciones adversas del agua el día pautado no pudimos bucear, sin embargo nos llevaron un segundo día para volver a intentarlo. No hay garantía de ver gran diversidad de vida marina (incluyendo tortugas) o qué habrá buena visibilidad en el agua. Sin embargo logré ver una.

    Excelente atención,...

    Emilce_Q, Feb 2024
    Excelente atención, buenos elementos de buceo, la embarcación es pequeña pero segura, vimos varias tortugas y peces.
