What To Expect
Certified diver trips begin with an introduction to our facility and team, followed by a dive briefing covering all aspects of the trip. After the dive briefing we board the boat, and elaborate on specific points regarding equipment for divers using our rental equipment, before a short boat ride to the dive site. The boat ride is an experience in itself, with so much to see from the water, giving you another viewpoint to admire this beautiful Island. Upon arrival at the first dive site, divers kit up, and complete a pre-dive safety check, before entering the water. The cylinder type is aluminum S80 (11.2 litre) with a starting pressure of 3000 Psi (207 Bar); dive times are set at one hour, or a minimum end/surface pressure of 500 Psi (35 Bar). A divemaster, with extensive knowledge of the local underwater realm, guides all dives, and they will show you the beautiful marine life that Antigua has to offer. Take note, we have a strict no-touch, no-take, no-feeding policy. *Important* we require all certified divers who have not been diving for a period of two years or more to complete a refresher dive before joining our certified diver trips.

5.00Had 4 dives over the course of 2 days with Louis, Leigh and Mona, they were all very knowledgeable and so helpful. The briefings were thorough and succinct, covering everything you’d expect from a professional dive company. The dives themselves were great, saw loads of life; octopus, lobsters, nurse sharks and a vast array of fish and crustacean life. I can highly recommend DiveCarib, thanks for the memories guys ❤️👍
The best dive team on the island!

5.00We had a great 7 dives with Louis, Leigh, Burton and Mona! Communication to set up the dives was easy, we were able to store our gear at the dive shop for the length of the dive trip and everything was safely put away and then loaded to the boat prior to our arrival. The dive shop/check in is at the same location as the dock with the boat. The dive sites were fantastic and we saw so many species of shrimp, crab, fish, eels, and even a few octopus! At the dive shop they take care of some island cats that we really loved to greet every morning. We stayed in Falmouth/English Harbor and walked to and from the dive shop. We would dive with them again any time we come back to Antigua! Highly recommend!
Refresher dives and shark dives - these guys are great!

5.00Myself and my wife needed a refresher as it had been a long time since we had been diving. I researched the different schools on the island and DiveCarib stood out. I enquired initially by email, and they answered all my questions, really in depth and patiently. There was no pressure to commit and gave me all the information I asked for a more. Very comprehensive communication. Once booked they stayed in touch via WhatsApp and made sure everything was still good. On the day the briefings were excellent, very chilled but focused. They had our safety fully in mind. All kit was issued and well taken care off. We had a total of 4 refresher dives and then came back for an extra 2 dives and got to experience swimming with sharks. An absolutely great experience and great staff, who clearly love what they do. The approach by Leigh, Louis and Mona was absolutely spot on. Excellent value for money and we will definitely return. Whether you are an absolute beginner or more experienced they will cater for your every needs. Very experienced staff, with the added bonus of being really nice as well! They are totally professional, and really approachable. Cannot recommend them high enough.

5.00Had a great two tank dive. Louis and the crew couldn’t have been better. We dove with barracudas, schools of sergeant majors and blue tangs. Stoplight fish and lion fish. We even had a sea turtle visit. On the second dive we picked up some extra dive buddies. They stayed with us the whole dive. One of the reef sharks was distinctive in that he had been hooked at some time and had a droopy lip. Great dive all around.
Great diving locations and team.

5.00Very professional from start to finish. Dive team very informative of what we were about to see. I had 6 dives over a week and had different sites every time sunken rock and a wreck dive being my favourites. I saw an array of different corals and sponges, reef fish, stingrays and Caribbean sharks. I would highly recommend. Andy Hasler

5.00A wonderful family experience with Dive Carib. Also very professionally run with excellent briefings and first rate equipment to hire. Impressed with the diligence in the safety brief and description of all aspects of the diving to come. Dive boat was comfortable with great access for all divers. On the day - lucky with the visibility at best. 40 metres. Made a difference in seeing so much colourful coral at the "Pillars of Hercules" site on the Southern side of Antigua outside Falmouth Bay. Fabulous rays, 6 foot Green Moray Eel and lobster too. All up a memorable experience thanks to Luis and Lee who shepherded us through the day effortlessly.
Very comfortable experience

5.00Myself and my 2 daughters did 4 dives during our holiday. Because we are from the Uk we only ever dive on holiday and so often have some gaps in between dives. This means we can be both rusty and somewhat anxious. But we were quickly put an ease by the informative/attentive and friendly approach of the team. Moana is an especially warm person who we really liked! Would fully recommend.
Super Awesome & Family Friendly dive center

5.00Mona, Leigh & Louis of Dive Carib are super friendly and very patient…it was a stress free and fun scuba adventure where my 14 year old daughter became PADI Open Water certified! Also, they were very responsive to my emails and WhatsApp communication, so all my questions were answered way before we departed the USA. Many dive shops often take a day or two to respond, but not Dive Carib….they got back to me generally in under two hours! 👍😎🤿 Dive Carib only takes 8 divers at a time on their boat, so we never felt cramped or rushed when dawning our gear and getting wet. And they were flexible too…they allowed me to use my sea scooter with attached camera to video my daughter’s training and dives (many dive shops don’t allow a dad zipping around, but they were cool about everything). Mona was great with my daughter and built rapport so quickly…not an easy task with a teenager, but she made it look easy! What’s your secret Mona?!? 😉🤣 I’ve been diving since 1989 and I highly recommend Dive Carib…they are in a great location too with nice restaurants and shops in the area for good food and a cold beer after a successful dive excursion! 🍺
