So great I only wish it lasted longer! - Wow what a great experience. I’m now addicted to scuba diving after taking the initial course. The only thing I’m bummed about is that the entire course only took about 2 1/2 hours. So when we were told
It was over we got a little bummed because we wanted to keep going. The instructed and photographer were great and really made us feel at ease and calmed any nerves we had. Definitely recommend!

Amazing experience - For my second experience I only thought of doing a discovery dive and in the end I just passed my padi scuba diver certification. Very happy with this wonderful experience where I enjoyed and felt safe. A thousand thanks to Miguel An attentive instructor, who takes the time to explain, to rehearse if necessary and who transmits his passion for diving to us. I highly recommend this PADI diving center for its equipment, cleanliness, warm atmosphere, seriousness and professionalism of the instructors. Thank you again for these unforgettable moments.

Must-visit - We decided spontaneously to join a diving lesson at the Wyndham hotel and it was a great experience!! I have never been diving before, but felt so safe all the time. We were a group of four and Mustafa (who also speaks German) explained very well each step in advance. Then we went out with diving instructor Mikey, who is a very calm person and took best care of us. He has always been close to us to make sure that everything is ok and took us to the wonderful little shipwreck in front of the hotel. Definetly a must in Bayahibe!

Exciting experience on holiday - Very good experience with this course which we attend. Instructors are very good professionals. They explain us everything necessary. Moreover, we had a lot of time to practice in the nearby pool in the morning.
We went to sea and dive deeper after few hours later.
We recommend this course for the first time diver. You learn basics of diving and you get base certificate of diving.
They also have options for more skilled persons.

Scuba diving course in Bayaibe - Narcissio is an amazing teacher. We took the scuba diving course with our two kids (14 and 15 years old). The team is very fun.

Unbelievable fun!!! - I took the DSD course with my 11-year-old. First time for both of us. It was absolutely amazing!
The instructors were fantastic - patient, encouraging, so much fun. They made us feel very safe. Lots of one-on-one attention and they made sure we were very comfortable with every step.
We ended up going on a second dive a couple days later.

If you are staying at the Viva... - <p>If you are staying at the Viva Wyndham, I would suggest booking this tour. Otherwise, I would highly suggest against booking this tour. The staff is wonderful, but the excursion is spread out throughout the day and has two separate two hour breaks between parts of the excursion. During the breaks we were constantly harassed by Viva staff for not being guests not having bracelets and most are unaware that there is an excursion for non-guests on the site. To avoid being harassed during our second break, we just took a taxi back to our resort and going back and forth three times ended up costing more than the excursion itself. Additionally, we were reprimanded for not checking in a day in advance, but the number Viator provided us was out of service.</p>
