Scuba diving 24 - It was my first time scuba diving; the instructor (Carolina) was professional and knowledgeable; made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable; the spots were full of the sea creatures and definitely will so it again.

Great dive, new equipment, attentive dive team - My dive with Scuba Carolina was great. I have been diving for 30+ years but after 4 years without a dive, I needed a “refresher.” The equipment is new and in fantastic condition. Carolina was very helpful getting me set up. My dive instructor Manu was so attentive to me the whole time. It was great diving 1:1 with him. We stayed down a long time! The water was smooth so I didn’t get seasick. It would have been nice to go to Tayrona Park, but probably you see the same things there. The fish and coral were great and plentiful. All said it was a great day diving and I would recommend Scuba Carolina highly.

Professional Experience With an Expert Guide - I’m a well seasoned traveler with limited diving experience. This experience changed my perspective on scuba diving and was night and day from the “lesson” that I received years ago in Belize. It was a professional crash course on scuba diving that left me feeling comfortable in the water with an expert literally holding my hand every step of the way. A five star business and experience all around!

Amazing scuba diving experience! - If you're reading this to make you decide if you're booking it or not, just do it. You won't regret it!! I spent a wonderful morning with the Scuba Carolina team. Our instructor was knowledgeable and very patient, always checking if we were OK underwater making all experience very relaxing. We dived into two places, both very beautiful and full of diversity.  Couldn’t recommend it more. 👌

A Dive Trip to Remember with Carolina's: Exceptional Diving, Magical Hospitality, and Unbeatable Value in Santa Marta, C - All of it was amazing. Santa Marta is such a gem, I can only hope that it remains as it is. The diving is some of the best we've experienced and frankly for what you get, it feels like stealing at their prices. We left a 100% tip and will 100% be coming back. While the business may be called Carlolina's, this is a husband wife team that really make for a magical time. They have incredible dive and nautical expertise and made us feel like family during our trip. The husband is from the U.S. which, along with the brand new top tier equipment made us feel even better about the safety standards. We'll be bringing our teenagers back soon to qualify with her and have their first real dive in Colombia.

Diving Santa Marta - new equipment - great staff - New equipment, great staff, two dives with snacks and drinks during surface time. Can fully recommend! Check though before, as the National Park is closed 4 times per year for a period.

Great dive master ! She finds all the cool fish ! - Wow ! What an incredible dive with Scuba Carolina ! Our group did a 2 tank dive with her. Above water she set all the equipment up and made it super easy . Below water she pointed out all the sea-life I might have missed . She was really good at finding all the sea creatures and took pictures of us diving so we had a memory of our time ! She is a PADI instructor and guide which was great to find in Santa Marta .

Tour was not in English as advertised and not in tayrona park. - very rushed. we could have done with more time getting used to breathing underwater with the respirator. Our tour was not in English, despite it saying it would be in English before booking. Our tour guide did try his best but could only could speak in broken English. It would have been easier for us to explain/get help as it was our first time scuba diving. The instructor was nice but again didn’t help our experience. Our tour was not in Tayrona park as indicated on the booking. We were told the weather was too rough to go further then 10 minutes passed the port but again wasn’t explained to us before we went and was difficult to understand the reason. Their was one other person doing the tour with us who could speak Spanish and English and if he wasn’t there to translate for some parts of it we wouldn’t not have understood a lot of the training.
