    We had an incredible time doing the scuba diving experience. It was my fiance and I’s first time ever diving and the instructors made sure we were well informed and comfortable the entire time. Hayden & Roxanne are fantastic! We can’t wait to come back and do it again.

    Terrible customer service

    Emily_W, Dec 2025
    My excursion was cancelled due to weather. Despite attempts to reschedule we were unable to do so. They refused to give me a refund, and kept offering options for excursions I did not book. The manager I dealt with, Joey, was the worst part of my trip. He was rude, unhelpful, and kept blaming Trip Advisor and telling me to deal with them. They made it clear I shouldn’t have booked on this site and with them directly. They said it was out of their control to be able to issue a refund, even though they are a manager. He kept talking over me instead of validating my concerns and frustration to the point where if I don’t get a refund I would rather eat the $120 then have to deal with this business. 10/10 do not recommend even bothering. And I guarantee there will be a response to this review that is defensive and lacks any accountability for their poor policies, communication, and customer service.

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    We are sorry you did not like your experience. You chose to book a ticket that is "All Sales Final" non-refundable. We never canceled, as we tried to give you options for better days and after you said no, we agreed to take you on the original day and then you said no and asked for the following day and we agreed. Then the evening prior to your tour, you chose to cancel the tour and demand a refund that is not possible

    Chandler is the BEST

    Sara_M, May 2025
    I am grateful for the experience. Even though I freaked out and decided not to go on Chandler Is amazing and my friend has an absolute great Time.

    Scuba Diving - Must Do!

    Natoshea_C, Dec 2024
    We had an incredible time doing the scuba diving experience. It was my fiance and I’s first time ever diving and the instructors made sure we were well informed and comfortable the entire time. Hayden & Roxanne are fantastic! We can’t wait to come back and do it again.

    No experience dive in PR!

    Adam_D, Nov 2024
    Had such a great time with Hayden on our Discovery Scuba Dive!! He is extremely friendly and personable, while maintaining the professionalism needed for this kind of activity. My wife and I went and even though she wasn’t able to do the actual dive, she still aced the drills. It was a cloudy day and the visibility wasn’t looking too good, but I told Hayden “Send It!” and we did. It ended up clearing up the farther out we went and could see all kinds of fish and reefs. He constantly kept making sure I was okay while underwater so I felt extremely safe. We were at 35ft for about 40mins and I was itching for more. My one word of advice for anyone thinking about doing this is to KEEP BREATHING NORMALLY!!! You’ll be just fine. 10/10 experience! Would recommend to anyone interested in an intro to scuba diving.

    Best trip ever!!

    Benjamin_H, Aug 2024
    We had the best time ever scuba diving! It was my first time but Hayden did a great job explaining everything and was extremely patient while we were getting acclimated to breathing underwater. This was one of the best experiences of my life. There is no doubt that I will call Hayden again when I am in Puerto Rico!! If you are new to scuba and have doubts, give Hayden a call. He is the best teacher and super laid back. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

    Great intro to Scuba diving in Rincon

    Matthew_R, Apr 2024
    My husband and I went scuba diving with Hayden. We had so much fun getting to see the coral reef and being guided through the area! Hayden did an incredible job teaching us how to navigate the gear and have a great experience. He was very kind and funny guide.

    Great Dive

    Ricardo_C, Apr 2024
    Dive Master did a great job reviewing the basics and keeping my non-rated 15 yr old. Beautiful dive.

    Great experience!

    Dalton_B, Mar 2024
    Our guide Chandler was fantastic! The ocean was beautiful. Weather was great! Even got good food recommended.

    Amazing Experience diving in PR with Hayden

    Michael_F, Mar 2024
    My wife and I had an amazing experience with Hayden - our instructor. So much so, that we went back and booked another dive 2 days later with Hayden again. This was my wife's first time diving, and I had previous experience - but Hayden was a great teacher and guide. He was very patient and worked well with us to re-teach me the skills and give my wife the confident to complete her first dive. We had a great time and can't wait to do it again!

    Great Instructor = Great Experience

    Harley_T, Dec 2023
    This was meant to be an experience, to give my family an educated decision to go forward with certification classes, or not. We had such a great time that we have all decided to get certified, except one, which is totally fine. He was able to experience scuba in a safe environment and make an educated decision. I will say, if the future dive instructors are as professional and comprehensive as our instructor Hayden was, it will be a great future in scuba.

    A Must Do!! Awesome experience!

    Beth_N, Aug 2023
    Shane was awesome! Very professional and made it such a great experience. We were both first time divers, but comfortable with swimming/snorkeling. He took us through the basics to make sure we paid attention to the video and we’re comfortable with the whole process. The dive was awesome as he led us through some pretty cool reefs with colorful coral and fish. He pointed out a lion fish and my husband saw a small stingray. He checked in with us using the hand signals often always making sure we were comfortable. Such an awesome experience! Thank you Shane!! (Wish we took a photo at least with our gear on…oh well, next time)

    First time scuba went smoothly

    Troy_M, Jun 2023
    First time Scuba. Went smoothly and efficiently. Great patient instructor in Shane. Very unique experience to be underwater for an hour or so. All training is on land and then in ocean. Then straightforward swim out to reef which had plenty of coral, fish, and other life for us on our first scuba.

    Great time in the water

    Justin_N, Apr 2023
    The scuba diving adventure was everything I could hope for. We seen all kinds of fish and the instructor was great. We were under for a little over a full hour And had an amazing time the entire time.

    Awesome experience trying...

    Jourdin_R, Apr 2023
    Awesome experience trying something very new! I knew I'd have trouble with this one personally but Robert was incredibly patient with us. We did exactly as much as I was comfortable with and he was very encouraging. Would absolutely recommend this company to everyone!

    It was a good experience

    Christy_E, Jul 2022
    It was a good experience. My instructor Laurel is very good at what she does. It's just that the weather wasn't in our favor.

    Wonderful experience and guide

    wolfgalgalaxy_m, Jul 2022
    Awesome experience. Had an awesome guide Robert and we drove 3 hours to get there but well worth it for the experience. Can't wait to someday get certified! It's such an amazing experience to be in the ocean!

    Not happy at all...

    Ross_R, Mar 2022
    The instructor was late and wasn't prepared at all with the equipment. The other two people that needed fins where too hig so he had to travel back to the store to get a different size. You would think he would of anticipated bringing a size up and a size down just in case. He drove a personal vehicle with no indication that he was with the diving agency nor was he wearing anything too suggest that he was with the agency. It was raining and the waves where extremely rough and he didn't assist us at all. I was having issues getting carried away and getting rolled by the waves my boyfriend was having issues getting on his flippers due to the rough waves. Instead of instructing us or assisting us on what to do he took my gear off and grounded me. Then he had our keys in his vehicle so we had to wait till the other folks were done scuba diving which thankfully due to the weather (I think) wasn't too long . We was not even offered a refund even though we didn't even get the chance to scuba dive. I am severely unhappy after driving 2 1/2 hrs.

    Response from Host, Apr 2022

    You took a camera in the water after being told it was not allowed and tried to take photos when the instructor was instructing you to put your fins on and start swimming. You where taken out of the water because you broke safety rules of bringing a camera which led to you falling because you where ignoring the instructor and focused on photos instead of listening to the instructor. We do not offer refunds to be who break safety rules and I danger themselves and others. And the other 2 people had an amazing time and used there full time to dive

    Would do again

    Tytus_J, Sep 2021
    It was an excellent experience that I would gladly do again. Robert was really patient with making sure everyone was able to learn the skills needed and could succeed.

    Amazing!

    Mariya_P, Aug 2021
    We loved that! The Padi instructor was clear and was able to calm us down when we got nervous. His English was good.

    Unreliable. Book something else so you don't waste a day!

    Robert_R, Aug 2021
    Abruptly cancelled on me (16 hours notice) for no reason and suggested I try the next day. When I said that would not be possible they insinuated that my inflexible schedule was part of the problem.

    Response from Host, Aug 2021

    We cancelled and refunded you as you requested after we offered to reschedule for you. This is an unfair review

    Great experience for beginners! :)

    Marie, Jul 2021
    Great experience! It was a bit scary at first, but our instructors helped us to overcome our fears and we were able to explore some cool reefs and see awesome fish! :)

    First time scuba experience was awesome!

    Brittney_C, Jun 2021
    Robert was a great guide! Would definitely recommend this tour. I had so much fun for my first time, I would definitely go again.

    Response from Host, Jun 2021

    Thanks.

    So fun!

    Mitchell_F, Jun 2021
    Robert is an excellent teacher! We learned all about diving. Great communication. Saw a morey eel! Wonderland indeed.

    Book with Karla!

    Nathan_C, May 2021
    Karla was an amazing instructor. She was very detailed, patient, and ensured we had a good time. Highly recommend!
