5.00This was my first time scuba diving and I am so glad I decided to do it. Jordan was our instructor. He made sure we understand all of the equipment and safety items before we got in the water, which was very reassuring. Once we got going, I felt completely comfortable with him guiding us. Jordan took amazing pictures of us under water, pointed out all the tropical fish and continuously checked in with us, helping to adjust equipment if needed. Whether you’ve dived before or it would be your first time - I highly recommend Jordan! 👌
A great snorkeling morning!!

1.00This experience is marketed as "WITH TURTLES." Let me just tell you, there are never any turtles! I asked our guide before we even started if we would see any turtles, he said probably not and it's very uncommon to see one. We get to the water and he constantly was acting like my wife was uncomfortable with scuba diving and was talking to her like a child. She was fine, but he wanted to act like she wasn't so he could leave early! We were never more deeper than 5 feet in the ocean. This is not what I call scuba diving. We saw barely any fish. He was rude and cut our trip short even when my wife was asking to go deeper so we could see some fish and maybe a turtle. LOL there are no turtles! Save your money and buy a real scuba session. Total scam in my opinion. Also the guide spent more time putting on his wetsuit than actually in the water with us. We had to wait in the hot sun for 10 minutes while he was putting on his wetsuit. 10 minutes that counted against our tour time! Why did he get a wetsuit when we were just in our normal swimsuits?! Unprofessional, poor quality, false advertising, rude, and condescending in his presentation!
Do it!

5.00Rey was a great dive master. She knew where to find all the wildlife. She took great photos and videos too! For example, we saw a sea turtle and a puffer fish.

5.00Had my first scuba diving experience and I must say it was amazing! Jordan is very patient and thorough as an instructor. I only know basics of swimming but the instructions from Jordan were clear. It was 100% safe experience. I would trust Jordan to do this again! He is a photographer and took amazing photos and videos during the trip.
Great experience!
