5.00Definitely off the beaten track. But great instructors, good quick lesson, and a short dive. I was experienced but my son was not. Great first time for him.

5.00Javier took such good and thorough care of us. I had trouble equalizing and he made sure I was able to recover at each depth. And he walked us through the necessary skills and allowed us to practice before descending. We enjoyed it and he’s a fun guy to chill with!
Worst experience ever

1.00Instructor was very very impatient with my wife and we paid for the time and this was our second time doing deep water diving but first with this instructor tried to rush us into water when it wasn’t safe and didn’t give her time to get comfortable with her breathing etc then told us he don’t won’t take us out to water because she wasn’t ready after they took 1 hr getting the equipment together had to ask them more then once to change equipment or give us new because you can see the mouth pieces was clean so I don’t recommend them save your time
Amazing, beautiful, safe!

5.00Amazing first dive experience. I had attempted to do this 20+ years ago on my honeymoon and failed the clear the mask test (I was more scared of things back then). Javier told me right away I was going to pass and took the time to fully explain the tasks all on land first making it a lot easier once we got in the water. He was so patient with me and celebrated every step I took toward mastering the items required to dive. Once I'd passed we dove to an incredible reef and ship wreck and got plenty of time to safely explore the underwater world. I'm hooked! Already looking for a dive certification program back home and can't wait to return to Aruba and show Javier what I can do!

5.00Javier was an excellent host, guide and instructor. Safety was always the priority yet we were able to achieve that in a very enjoyable dive. The equipment was top notch. Highly recommended for non-certified divers.
