Herausragend!! 🐡🤿🦈 Remo and the Tama Dive team were very wellcoming, knowledgeable, had a good vibe alltrough the trip and were well prepared and clear in commuication! The refresher course included everything that I needed to feel safe and confident under water again! The dive instructor informed very well before the dive, which made it very easy to just jump in and enjoy the sealife without worrying about anything. And you get to see a lot of things 🐡🦈🐠🐟🐙 The dive equipment is very good, as is the organisation with transport to the beach, the trip on the boat, including snacks and water. Would reccomend it without any concern!! Thank you so much for this experience!!
Excellent diving. Wonderful instructors.

I did a refresher course (as it had been a while sonce my last dive) and I enjoyed it so much that I went back the following day for some fun dives. All instructors were fun, friendly and helpful and the sea life was abundant.

Did a half day scuba refresher and Catalina island diving trip. Remo was my instructor/guide and both him and the rest of the crew were professional, friendly and very helpful. We saw schooling mobulas as well as a few mantas, among many other things. Amazing experience, would highly recommend Tama Dive
Best dives ever!!

Had two amazing dives with Miguel and the team at TamaDive!! We saw so many incredible animals - tons of fish, sharks, starfish, rays. We even saw rays jumping out of the water from the boat. All the instructors take videos they send to you afterwards which was such a nice added bonus.

We had an amazing time. I am an Advanced OWD and did my skills refresher and my wife wanted to try out scuba for the first time. The instructor was super patient with my wife and tried hard to make sure she is comfortable and safe. She ended up snorkeling as she couldn’t get used to all the equipment right of the bat and had a great time anyway. I did my skills in about 5 min and we went onto two hour long dives and had amazing time. Saw a bunch of underwater life including some sharks. We would definitely recommend this place and when we return, we will be booking again for sure
Refresher dive - UNREAL!!

Absolutely amazing experience. I did a refresher dive having not dived for 6 years since I completed my PADI and advanced qualifications. Miguel was fantastic, answered all my questions, was very patient and always checked to make sure I was OK knowing that I was feeling a little apprehensive having not dived for a while. The dive itself was unreal - the most special part was the sound of a humpback whale throughout the whole of our second dive. We saw sharks, rays, trumpet fish and many many more!! Highly recommend. One of the best days of our holiday.
A great refresher for couple who haven’t dived in several years

TamaDive is a very friendly and professional dive shop. We met one of the owners and three dive masters - all were very knowledgeable and patient. My wife and I hadn’t dived for several years and are 65 years old. We took the refresher course with Miguel (who was excellent). We relearned all of the skills we had forgotten and feel ready to dive again. We highly recommend the course
Pura vida!

Franko is a skilled and calm dive master who made us feel comfortable as we regained our SCUBA skills. He made it possible to me to overcome anxiety from a previous SCUBA experience that was less than positive. Many thanks! Pura vida!
Best times scuba diving!

We did 2 days, the first was the refresher course and then 2 dives the next day. The guys were very knowledgeable and didn't mind app out questions. They keep the groups small, like 3 people per guide, so you got a lot of attention and feedback while diving. This place was the best. Check them out!
