Great company! Great people! Great day!! - Casper, Oswaldo and Jonathan are a great team and made the day perfect. They were kind, attentive and did everything they could to make sure everyone had an incredible day. The communication before the dive was clear and everything ran very smoothly.

Oceano Adventures is excellent! - Ailen and Santiago were amazing! My son did the Discovery course with Santi (skills) and Ailen (open water) and they were both wonderful pros. Ailen was a knowledgeable and attentive dive master on my dive. My other family members snorkeled and they had a solid experience, as well! Sebastian was super responsive in helping set everything up. We loved chatting with him to and from the dock. While Sayulita isn't the best dive destination, it's always great to get in the water and this shop knows how to do it right. All around, what a adventurous and enjoyable time. Will definitely do this again with them next time down!

Amazing experienced diving coaches - Sebastian's Oceano Adventures team is amazing! We did the PADI certification with a few hours in the pool, a practice day in the ocean and finally a day at Marieta Islands to enjoy the beautiful underwater world. We felt in very good hands, as all team members were very experienced and were rescue divers. We also had fun conversations. We will definitely come again!

Top notch dive crew!!! - We hadn’t been diving in about 8 years and were a little nervous. The crew was great from the get go and made us feel safe and confident. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable and provided us with aid when we needed it. We took 2 dives around the Marietta Islands. The water temperature was a bit chilly, but not too bad. The visibility was just okay. We were told the best visibility is during the time of year when the water is the coldest. Overall we had a great experience and saw lots of sea life, including an octopus. It was a good price, which made it worth it. This was definitely not one of my favorite locations to dive, but that has nothing to do the crew. We got to see Blue-footed Boobies, and Humpback Whales, an added bonus! I highly recommend Oceano Life for your diving excursions!

A must-do! - Highlight of my trip! Everyone was so friendly, our dive master Isreal is second to none! I definitely will be back and will be scheduling more than just the two dives.

Scuba diving and snorkeling family trips to Las Marietas - Great crew, amazing diving, Casper (Osvaldo) was a wonderful scuba guide, showing us eels, manta rays, turtles and everything else! Sebastian and Micah did a great job with my daughter and wife who snorkeled. Captain Osvaldo got us there and back with ease and we saw whales breaching several times. Over a professional team and a great day of diving and snorkeling!

Only okay - It was okay. There were a few hiccups. Went to the Marietas Islands with them. They didn't have fins my size (an average woman's foot size), but they did have several pairs of large and extra-large fins aboard. They tried to give me children's fins to use. I ended up using a pair of one of the crew's fins with booties so it worked out okay, but that seems like a big oversight. I pre-ordered and paid for a veggie sandwich for lunch, but they didn't label the sandwiches everyone ordered, so when they passed them out, it was random. Someone else got my vegetarian sandwich, and they handed me a ham sandwich. It would have been easy for them to label them and avoid this issue. I'm not sure it occurred to them that some people have dietary restrictions. They also said they'd give me a ten percent discount and apply it to my bill. They did not. It would have been fine if they hadn't offered, but I don't like it when they say they will do something and then don't. The dive guides were very nice, and the operations were efficient.

I would never come back - Abysmal attention, very uncritical, visibility was abysmal and yet they decided to do the dive, 3,000 pesos thrown away, they could have changed it to see whales or just charge us for transportation, they made me spend 800 pesos extra! Zero recommend them
