Wonderful Experience - I hadn’t had a dive in years and needed a refresher. Brenda was incredible. She took everything slow and steady and was a wonderful instructor.

The best experience - They are the best team, I went for my birthday and they gave me a beautiful experience at all times, the instructor brenda at all times made me feel safe and explained amazing. The whole team was always attentive and super friendly. They are so amazing that they made my birthday experience amazing as they gave me a cake and sang the mornings. They're all super pros. I would definitely return with her for my certification and I highly recommend them.

Awesome experience! - This was a really great intro to scuba. Our instructor, Brenda, was so chill. I never felt intimidated and I felt like I could ask all the questions. She was repetitive in the hand gestures to reinforce the meanings. She was great at pointing out the wild life and reminding us to descend at our own pace. I wish I could have stayed longer to really go through a whole certification. It was so amazing!

Amazing Discovery Scuba Experience with Brenda - I had an amazing discovery scuba trip with Brenda and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I was the only guest, which made the dive feel very personal and relaxed. Brenda was professional, patient, and explained everything clearly, making me feel comfortable and confident the entire time. She tailored the experience perfectly to me and made sure I was having a fantastic time underwater. Second trip with Mar Adentro and continue to highly recommend!

Great dive - This is a unique experience and well worth the money. The guides are kind and knowledgeable about diving and they also offer photography of your experience.

Great experience and amazing staff - Absolutely blown away by this experience and the staff here. I was a bit nervous to try scuba but I would do it again 100 times. The staff here start to finish was so friendly and so patient while we learned the basics. Throughout the whole dive the guide stayed close and made sure we were both ok never felt unsafe with her. The dive itself was also amazing even though it was a shallow 30 foot dive it was so beautiful and just off the coast of the dive shop. Saw amazing coral schooling fish and even stingrays. I give this 100 stars if I could me and my gf will absolutely be back. Can’t rave enough about how great everyone here was and how beautiful the dive was. If your on the fence just book it I promise you won’t regret it.

Go ahead and book this!! You will not regret it!!!! - I 10/10 recommend diving with this company! I have never dived before, always talked about it with my dad. The staff was very very friendly and helpful! They made sure we asked all the questions we wanted to. They let us practice in shallow water, which was a little more difficult than the actual diving. We went about 38 feet deep I believe and it was the perfect length of time for beginners! Thank you!!!! I will be back for sure!!!!!

Bad Experience due to problematic regulator - I purchased this excursion for my son in law and he was very apprehensive about scuba diving. My daughter and I are both certified divers and we really thought he would love it if given a try. After trying 2 separate regulators that leaked they gave him a third and apparently this regulator had issues and Chris had no idea because he had never dove before but this new regulator made it extremely difficult to breathe. I didn't find this out until we were headed back to the ship as he thought this was normal. He explained to my daughter and I that it hurt to try and get air and an hour or two after diving for 30 minutes, his chest muscles still hurt. I am very disappointed as he is now completely turned off on diving and what should have been an amazing experience, he hated.
