    Neither me or my friend...

    Scott_H, Mar 2025
    Neither me or my friend had ever scuba dived before and even though learning about the equipment was maybe a little intimidating, the staff took great care of us the diving was amazing. A great highlight of our trip to Colombia!

    Easy to learn for first timers

    It was such a great experience. The trainer was so patient with me and kind. He showed me all the cool things in the ocean. I would recommend him.

    We had such a great time...

    We had such a great time with the Discovery Dive! Andres explained everything that we needed to know and practiced with us until we felt comfortable. My husband was did not feel comfortable breathing underwater and felt like he might panic. Andres was very understanding and had him practice in the pool longer to get more comfortable. He then stated that his assistant would stay with my husband closer to the surface and he took me diving up to 40 ft. It was a great experience and I now know that I definitely want to get certified and my husband definitely does not!

    A really safe first experience of diving, with pretty fish!

    Andrés was a very good teacher. I was on my own but it wasn’t a problem. He was thorough and serious about it but could also laugh. The diving was actually easier than the lesson and the dive was very close by. We just walked into the sea, floated a few metres and then went under. The fish are beautiful colours and the water is clear below. Really nice experience - worth doing if you’ve never tried it.

    Great way to try diving without a big commitment

    Great way sample of diving to see if you want to get certified. Very good instructions and felt comfortable and safe while diving. So cool to finally be able to breathe underwater. Saw a nice variety of ocean life.
