Amazing Experience - I had a great time learning to Scuba with this experience. I was the only one signed up for the tour so had one on one class and dive. Going down in the open water the first time was a bit difficult, but my instructor was patient and once we were underwater the sights were amazing. We spent 40 minutes underwater at both dive sites. It was an experience I will never forget.

10/10 - Fantastic experience!! - Pocna Dive Center was a blast! They were professional, extremely friendly, and very patient when teaching scuba. Our Instructor was Federico and our photographer was Ana - they were both so nice and welcoming. This was our first time scuba diving and they helped us every step of the way. Stop looking elsewhere for scuba companies and go with these guys, you wont regret it!!

Pocna Dive is where to go in Isla. - I absolutely recommend Pocna Dive Center. Whether you’re new to diving or experienced, they are knowledgeable, competent, and fun. I signed up for the discovery scuba with my friend, ended up going solo as she could not perform the dives. Luckily, Pocna suggested I go ahead and do the dives and she can snorkel and watch from above—that’s exactly what we did. I went with Fede and Luciana. It was a wonderful experience. I’m reactivating my certification and will definitely come back to Pocna for mores dives. If you’re curious or nervous about scuba, I highly recommend you do the discovery dive with these experienced, knowledgeable divers. Professional outfit, five star PADI dive shop. Beautiful hostel accommodations. What more do I need to say?

A great experience for my first dive. - I had my first ever dive with Poc-Na dive centre, it was great. Luna explained everything thoroughly and made me feel relaxed and confident. She checked on me constantly which was reassuring. The skipper and everyone on the boat were very helpful. We did the underwater museum and a reef. We saw turtles, stingrays and lots of fish. My partner and I definitely recommend this dive and this company.

Awesome experience - Cindy took the Discover Scuba Course and Pocna Dive Center was incredible. I had not been in the water for a while so I took the ReActivate course to update my certification. The office responded quickly to our questions and helped us arrange our dives. Our divemaster Pepe was very thorough and made sure Cindy was comfortable with all the gear before diving on the reef. The dives at MUSA and Manchones Reef were spectacular with lots of interesting corals and fishes. Cindy even saw a sea turtle!

10/10 great !!!!!!! - Amazing experience. The staff were so amazing to help with booking. The training and our instructor Fede were so helpful and amazing . I had never done scuba before & he was so very patient and kind in ensuring I got everything correct before heading to the water. In the water I panicked just because & they calmed me down, showed me what to do and were with me the whole time. An outstanding first experience and I thank the team for being so professional and patient to help me through that ! Would recommend to anyone for your first time and feel nervous etc. thank uou !!
