An Amazing Scuba Diving Experience - Matt was an excellent instructor! His top priority was safety to ensure we had a wonderful experience. We practiced all safety protocols (breathing in and out through your mouth only and not from your nose) and hand signals 👍👎✊👌 underwater to communicate effectively. Once we went scuba diving 🤿, we saw and followed a couple of sea turtles 🐢 and fish 🐠🐟 and even saw a sea urchin up close and personal! What really drew me to this excursion was that I didn't have to bring my phone to take pictures. Matt had a GoPro and took amazing videos 🎦and photos 📷 that he immediately sent as soon as the excursion was over.

My First Experience Scuba Diving - This was my first time scuba diving and all I can say it is was great experience! I got to to see a sea turtle and a sea urchin up close in their natural habitat 🐢🐟🌊. Shout-out to my scuba instructor Matt, he was great at giving us clear instructions on what to do if something were to happen and how to swim with the scuba gear on. I would definitely recommend doing this scuba diving tour if you are a person who likes marine wild life and nature. FYI do this this your at least a day before a flight.

Great experience - Scott was an amazing instructor. Kept our mind at ease on safety. Patient with my pre teen as well. I love how he offered sending pictures that he took to our airdrop! I love how he took his time with safety… didn’t rush us. I also loved that he cared for us on being calm and reminding us everyone has their own pace and own way. Thank you again Scott for an amazing experience. Also top notch customer service- We asked what did he recommend to eat around here… he sent us a file on what he likes to eat around the area and sites to stop at! Oh and showed us where we were at on the map and to stop at to wash up and change. :) Don’t forget to tip your tour guides, especially if you loved the experience!!

Scuba Diving with Areli ❤️❤️❤️❤️ - Areli was absolutely amazing!!! So funny and very informative! She pointed out everything that we would have missed. She was such a goddess of an effing mermaid and kept checking on us to make sure that we were good.

Safety is meh...would go again at different time and different instructor - I was really excited to try this. I'm also nervous. When I lost the respirator, the guide had prepared me by practicing twice and saying "it won't happen but just in case". It happened and I was able to find it but bc of my inexperience, forgot to exhale before putting it back in. The guide was ahead of me, and I had zero back up plan besides his eyes. No way to drop or inflate to come up or even a bell to get his attention. I was able to get to the surface without inflating and my husband was right on me (an experienced diver and was able to hold me up till the guide got usI understand the reasons why one might want a learner to depend fully on the instructor but I wish there were SOME back up. Despite me continuing to WANT to try, he insisted we stay on top of the water and ended 45 minutes early. I really hoped to just have a practice and get to know the breathing and to decide if I liked it. I do. And I'd love to go again. Just maybe not at 3pm when the instructor is done for the day.
