Great instructor! He took the time to explain everything clearly and helped my 13-year-old daughter feel comfortable during her first scuba diving experience. Thank you for making it such a positive and memorable adventure!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much, Erica! We’re really happy your daughter had such a good first experience scuba diving. It can feel like a big step getting into the water for the first time, so we love hearing that her instructor helped her feel comfortable and took the time to explain everything clearly. We hope this was the first of many underwater adventures for her!

One of the best I experienced in puertorico. I even saw 3 sharks.
Lesson at beginning was fast ending.

Good scuba diving tour for beginners. To begin with, the operator played 15 minutes of instructional video which clearly explained the basic techniques. The same thing was then re-iterated one more time by the guide. They also had few quiz questions that they asked the participants to answer to ensure everyone paid attention and understood the basic techniques. Then they took us to a shallow water area in the beach, and the guide went through the basic instructions one more time. We also did some practice in the shallow area before they took us to the deeper region. But unfortunately, the weather conditions were not ideal. The visibility in the water was not great which impacted the whole experience. Also, the depth to which they took us was only a few feet down and it was quite less compared to few other international locations that we did previously. Overall, we felt the tour was a bit expensive for the experience we got, but we still had a good time.

Claire and the staff were great. She got me to over come my fears and have a enjoyable experience. Would recommend to anyone wanting to try out scuba for the first time. It’s not to deep and the reefs are beautiful.
