Very cool experience
Eleanor_V, May 2024
I wanted limitless time to look around and see what was down there. The scuba guide was knowledgeable and kept us safe. I would’ve liked more time to practice in the pool. We ended up with like 2 hours of nothing between pool practice and leaving the dock. FYI once you get there, there's an extra 43$ charge per person so come prepared.
Wonderful experience and got certified too
Sarah_Q, Apr 2024
We had an amazing time that we ended up getting our certification. Gonzalo was very helpful and such a great instructor. Ulysses too was helpful. Overall, we highly recommend this place.

Fun time even for new divers.
Reed_H, Mar 2024
The dive went well. It was a little overcast so pictures didn't turn out as good as they could have. We saw lots of fish and one medium sized turtle. Would recommend.

Not beginner friendly
Bella_J, Jul 2023
1. They really need to do better with directions because I was provided with three different ones on the app. It is literally behind the restaurant.. that’s all we needed to know. 2. One diving instructor vs nine beginners is not a good ratio. Which leads me to lack of a patience shown. 3. If you don’t speak Spanish good luck! After being basically kick out the ocean, I was stuck on the rock with the captain sea sick with no assistance. 4. Mr. Alex is too curious for me asking a black woman how she washes her hair is so juvenile. Worst Birthday Ever!
Response from Host, Jul 2023
We checked and all the apps are very clear how to make it to the dive center ... Even a picture of the entrance. We ONLY work with small groups wit great costumer service ... How ever ... We can´t prevent some people getting seasickness even with a flat ocean ... Our Captain Ricardo is a nice person and he was helping you all the time ... We understand getting seasickness feels really bad but there no reason to blame the universe for it.
Surreal experience
Aishwarya_G, Jul 2023
Amazing experience and our diving instructors were immensely helpful. They stayed with us throughout making sure we don't feel scared any moment.

Just do it!
Maureen_G, Jun 2023
Unfortunately, my husband and I were late because we had a car accident in the parking lot. My husband and I went to the office to ask to reschedule, but they encouraged us to go on the dive anyways. Our instructors were so kind and helpful, and put us at ease. The dives are listed as only being 30 minutes each, but we dove for about 45 minutes each time. It was an amazing experience! My only 2 complaints are (1) the lack of parking - this tour does not offer pickup so you have to drive or get Lyft/Uber/taxi and (2) there are no snacks or towels offered on the way back, and you cannot bring snacks and towels with you. It takes about 45 minutes to get out to the dive site and 45 minutes back, after swimming for an hour and a half. All of us were hungry and cold on the return. Otherwise, I highly recommend this tour and our instructors - my husband and I loved it!!!!!

They did such a great job on operating this excursion. The trainer takes time and teach us very carefully with all details and safety instructions for our first dive. Highly recommended

Amazing!
Brek_N, May 2023
This was my first time scuba diving and it was magical! The crew were all amazing! I was a little nervous having never done it before, but the staff all went above and beyond to make it comfortable and fun! I will definitely be scuba diving again, and have this team to thank for developing a new passion in me!

Thank you for the review. We hope to see you back soon !!!
Amazing group experiences
Ilyas_N, May 2023
We went as a group of 6 including friends and couples. We loved the experience as beginners, instructors were very friendly easy to understand and welcoming any questions. Diving into the sea is a very unique experience, especially for people with passion for aquatic life. Overall we went 2 tanks, 2 dives each ~30 min. Also this agency can help with acquiring professional licenses if you want this experience to become a hobby.
Response from Host, May 2023
It was great to have you guys diving with us !!! We hope to see you bak soon !!!

fabien_t, Apr 2023
Best experience with Gonzalo who is an excellent instructor and very reassuring as it was our first dive. The 2 dives were amazing. Take or rent a go pro, you won't regret it.

Loved it. Would have been great to have a briefing of what the museum objects were beforehand but other than that, a really fun and memorable experience.

Best first dive experience!
Kyle_R, Mar 2023
Great instruction in the pool that helped me feel comfortable going out for the dives. We saw a ton of underwater life and I would 100% go back! They were professional yet funny and we all had a blast!
Incredible bucket-list unforgettable adventure day. If you've never dived, then do it while you can!
Alex_C, Mar 2023
What an incredible experience! From the moment we arrived the team were friendly, welcoming and very helpful. We felt very safe and in competent hands. The experience itself was mind-blowing, and we are still reeling with joy from it. Truly a bucket-list activity that you can't get everywhere. I also can't emphasize how amazing the underwater art-museum was. I would highly recommend the Coconut Divers team to educate the scuba participants about it before-hand. We had no idea what it was all about (and it's an amazing story! Definitely look it up before you go, it will enhance the magic). We watched a youtube video about the museum after attending, and saw some amazing pieces on the video that we didn't visit on our dive. I'm sure if you knew what you wanted to see, the coconut team would be happy to take you to those specific spots. You can't see it all in the single dive there, it's too big! I would also recommend to bring a warm top/cover/shawl for the boat ride back, it gets very cold from being in the wetsuit and speeding on the boat back. Also bring plenty of snacks/food for your time, there's not many economical options to eat around the dive-center. And we were very hungry on the boat-ride back.
Great Guides and Amazing Tour
Micaela_S, Feb 2023
The guides were so fun and kind. They were patient and made sure that we were safe and taken care of the entire time. They also had all the answers to our questions. Such an enjoyable experience!
