Had a great experience with TamaDive and their crew! Juli was an exceptional guide, and we saw a ton of marine life as well as a giant Manta Ray which was the highlight of our dive. They also sent me videos of our dives later that day which was not expected but so appreciated. All around a solid time and I will dive with them again on my next trip back to Tamarindo!!

Very surprised by variety of sea life and temperature of water. I have not been diving in Pacific for many years and anticipated colder water. Remo was a great dive master. He pointed out many varieties of sea life and I learned new hand signals for trigger fish, angel fish, and rays. TamaDrive was a great, personalized dive trip. Never felt rushed and with their new boat we were back in Tamarindo in time for lunch. Highly recommend Remo and Pedro.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad the Pacific surprised you with its warm waters and rich marine life. It’s great to hear you enjoyed diving with Remo and even picked up some new hand signals—always a fun bonus! We're also happy you appreciated the relaxed, personalized experience and our new boat that gets you back to Tamarindo just in time for lunch. A big shout-out to Pedro as well—our fantastic captain who helps make every trip smooth and enjoyable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to dive with you again soon!

Very professional and attentive. They took care of all of the gear. We didn't have great visibility, but we saw a huge stingray and a couple of white tip reef sharks. The starfish were very cool as well.

Such an incredible and amazing experience! Our guide was amazing at showing us all of the wildlife including sharks, star fish, blow fish and even a MANTA RAY! One of the best dives I have ever done

When I first booked the dive I considered canceling since the dive center was very far from my hotel, but the online reviews convinced me otherwise. Turned out it was the best dive ever and totally worth the trip down to Tamarindo, even though this meant my day starting at 4am. The whole team was super friendly, very professional and put a huge amount of effort in to make everyone feel safe and satisfied. Remo and Franko always informed us about the next steps/dive and made sure everyone felt comfy. Franko always pointed out the easy-to-miss hidden fishes and other species. We’ve seen many sharks, rays, colorful fishes, eel’s and much more. Big shoutout to Franko who even went for an extra dive to find my mask after I’ve accidentally dropped it getting back on the boat after our 1st dive and only realized way too late- and of course he found it! These guys try their best to make anything happen for you. Highly recommend booking with TamaDive!

Fantastic dive trip…staff and crew are knowledgeable, helpful and made the dives truly memorable. Small boat (which I prefer,) but not crowded at all, even with 8 divers + staff. Will definitely dive with Tama-Dive when we return to Costa Rica.

Dive was awesome, crew and dive masters were professional, courteous and fun. Very small dive groups ours was three people make for a better experience. Highly recommended.
