Beware of transportation

Eric_T, Apr 2025

Driving and changing cars 3 times to get to the location was crazy and then trying to get back to my hotel was crazier with the drivers not knowing who I was

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Good morning, Mr. Eric. Regarding the change of vehicle, we only changed two because we have one that is specifically and exclusively for pickups within the Punta Cana area. This takes it to the meeting point where the other, larger transport leaves from. Therefore, we only changed from one vehicle to a larger one. And regarding the driver, who knows, who you were? Did you know that the little hotel you were in isn't recognized in the area since it's a hostel, and the driver thought it was the 365 located on Av. Alemania, but it was a different type of hostel, and the driver didn't know where that one was?

I was able to do the 2...

Josh_A, Jan 2024

I was able to do the 2 dives. I had the best time. This was my first scuba experience since getting my license. I met some amazing people who had been diving for years. After my first dive that day, the guys treated me like everyone else who had been diving for years. I got a lot of great advice, and the dive master who told me to call him Joe was the best. They also shared pictures of their different dive experiences over the years with me. I felt like part of a brotherhood. Thank you to all for such a great time.

Chaos

Parker_M, Dec 2023

It was chaotic. The bus didn't pick me up and i got in a taxi with 2 random people. They they dropped me off with the rest of the bus and people on my trip. A 16 yr old boy was expecting to be with his dad but they didn't allow the dad to come since he wasn't diving. At the boat they just accepted us but none of us were on the roll call. My dive master was great and friendly but with a slight language barrier. Also both times my main breathing device was letting water in and i had to switch to my back up one. The drop off area was cool and exciting but the water is fairly clear but I've had more clear.

Great diving but be prepared for a long day

Michael_D, Apr 2023

The diving was excellent. Unfortunately I wasn't told that the booking included two hours beach time - a whole day out (12 hours in total (including scuba diving). I was by myself with no other English speakers, and so the day was unexpectedly long. But the diving (corals & fish etc) was excellent

Very Poor Diving Experience

Robert_K, Jun 2021

The dive operator could not provide any proof that their dive masters are PADI certified, and their website is shutdown. When I asked for proof, they gave us nothing but excuses about why they could not provide any proof of certification. Consequently, my wife and I did not feel comfortable SCUBA diving due to safety concerns. They offered to let us go snorkeling instead, which is what we ended up doing since we had already traveled over 90 minutes to get to the boat. In addition, at the end, we spoke to the returning SCUBA divers. We were shocked when they said that they went diving without having any air pressure gauges. They were not provided by the dive operator!!! That is unbelievably unsafe. Can you please refund us the difference between the cost of a SCUBA diving excursion and the cost of a snorkeling excursion? It should be about $100 (USD) each. Due to poor safety practices, I feel fully justified in not SCUBA diving. Viator should issue an immediate refund, or you will leave us with no recourse other than to stop payment.

Response from Host, Jun 2021

good morning sir you know things are not like that! from the first moment his wife was predisposed to the excursion. Our webb is undergoing renovation, why when the pandemic entered the domain fell because you had not worked for a year and that is why the page fell. I explained that to you. on the page. And about the certificates, when you asked for it, I told you that at that time the teachers were doing the excursion and I couldn't send it at that time. But if your partner did not feel safe, we were ready to take them to the hotel if they did not feel safe. We have been diving since 2001 and we have never had any problems. but his wife since he left the hotel was predisposed. Then we told him if they wanted to go back to the hotel and they said they'd better go to Catalina's excursion and do some snorkeling

Great on boat. Very bad transport

Russell_M, Jun 2021

While on the boat it was great and our scuba instructor very good and patient with noobs like us. The transportation to and from was bad. The trip to the dock should have been 1 hour or so. But the driver took us an hour out of the way to some tourist grifting shop where all prices start at $45 then you fight them down. So the trip there took 3 hours. While on the boat we were caught in some rain. So we asked the van driver to please turn off the air conditioner. He did for a minute then turned it back on for the 1 hour drive. Now my fiance is sick.

Response from Host, Jun 2021

heart the trip from bavaro to where we embarked to the island is about 45 minutes. Well, we embark in Romana and from Bavaro to Romana it takes 45 minutes more or less. It is something that is not in our hands because by bavaro it is not embarked. About the store the Comoros is not mandatory, it is up to you whether to buy or not. and on the air we cannot turn off the air because we have more clients and then the complaints come.
