Great day in the ocean - Great day snorkeling. These guys are a well oiled machine. They never stopped working from the moment you arrive to the moment you depart. Truly a great crew. Andres and Ralph were our guides. They did a great job and managing a pretty large group, and making sure we saw tons of incredible marine life. Two huge thumbs up. Would definitely recommend!

Ocean sightseeing! - We scuba dived with Pacific Coast Dive Center 23 years ago to the same locations but this time we snorkeled- just as good of an experience as before- very attentive, informative, and safe! Risky is great as were our other guides- but he was sure to make everyone feel welcome, comfortable, and provided information about each species we saw.

A good snorkeling trip for families with good instruction! - My family went snorkeling with Pacific Coast Dive Center on a trip with Risky, Lucia, Billy, and one other instructor (a British chap; I apologize for not remember your name!). We had a lovely time! The boat was well appointed (even had a bathroom) and had good facilities for getting divers on and off. The instructors / leaders were good, patiently getting everyone moving in the right direction, while also emphasizing safety and sharing knowledge of the area. Conditions were less than ideal (a lot of swells), but we still saw some lovely wildlife including puffer fish and a white tipped shark (harmless and not at all scary). A great trip and I would highly recommend it!

Snorkel with Risky! - We had an amazing time snorkeling with Risky! Saw many big schools of fish which Risky helped identify. We also learned a lot about the islands.

Not an enjoyable experience - I wish they'd have canceled the booking. To be clear, the team was awesome. Super nice and very professional. That said. The water was horrible. I had a massive issue and without making this 4 pages long, had to be helped out of the water. I've snorkeled from shore and boat before. The current and the swells were no joke. Someone on the boat mentioned that this time of year the water should be like a pond. IT WAS NOT LIKE A POND :) After less than ten minutes in the water the rest of the trip was recovering from trying to not drown. I really wish they'd just canceled our booking. Even folks with me that were able to successfully snorkel said it was hellish. I know they're not responsible for the conditions of course, but are responsible for taking folks out in it.
