Your in Good Hands - If you are interested in finding out if the world of scuba diving is for you, this is the excursion for you. A well crafted educational session and a quick pool training sets you up for what to expect. They are knowledgeable and caring and take the time to explain everything with a hint of a sense of humor. I was hit with a bit of anxiety once the dive start. They worked with me to calm me down while maintaining safety first at all times. It was a truly rewarding experience for the rest of the dive. Highlighted by see a seahorse in the wild. Would strongly recommend for the beginners looking to dip their toe a little deeper in the ocean or someone looking to take the next set to get certified.

Best Aruba Experience! - This was my first experience with Scuba, and my fiance was certified. I was terrified, and they made me feel at ease. It was the most amazing experience! I am so happy that we did this. It was my favorite experience in Aruba. Communication was clear, everything was on time, and I felt very safe with them. It is a great way to experience Scuba for the first time, or if you are like us and only one or some of your group is certified. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience for a beginner diver - Had a great introductory course. Got the basics of scuba as well as a practice run in a pool. Then got to go for a 30 minute dive in free water to a depth of about 35-40 feet, which was exhilarating and beautiful. Would recommend to anyone who is new to scuba, even if apprehensive.

Perfect experience, bucket list check - Everything went perfectly from the pick up at port through the dive itself. A brief class followed by training in a pool then a beautiful boat ride for an open water dive. I had never even snorkeled before and the experienced staff at fly n dive had me scuba diving amongst coral heads and tropical fish in a couple hours. Absolutely amazing. One off my bucket list.

Aruba Scuba - Very good for first time beginners. The driver needs ac and phone charger to work but she’s not affiliated with them. They should choose another. The instructors are very nice. I cut my leg on coral there’s no first aid kit on the boat. Told me salt water is very healing which is true but I still needed to clean the wound and the blood off my leg. Other than that good instructions. Safe dive. That matters!

Great for Teens - Paula is a highly experienced dive master, guide, and instructor. I took four teens for the half-day Discover Scuba program and we all had a great time. After classroom and pool instruction, we completed a shore dive at Mangel Halto, where the kids were surprised to find a sunken tug boat! This is a perfect excursion for teens and is sure to be a highlight of their time in Aruba!

Poor communication and no-show - Similar experience as the earlier review from December 31st. Instructor was a no-show for our January 2nd reservation. The check-in time was changed from 12:30 to 1 PM the day before. We waited from 12:30 to 2 PM. I called, sent an email, and messaged via Trip Advisor app. Finally, someone answered the phone call at 2 PM and said that the instructor called in sick couple of hours ago. I didn’t believe the story because I just read the review from couple of days earlier describing almost identical experience. Fortunately, the refund process with Trip Advisor was easy. Steven from Pure Diving accommodated us next day, so that helped, but we wasted a good chunk of our afternoon.
