What Our Divers Say
★★★★★

Carie Boulanger
“Frank and his crew are the best. He truly does care for your safety and not just trying making a buck. He was the best dive master. He went over in detail everything about your equipment and dives. A good review over that stuff never hurts. He even took great photos and gave them to us at no extra cost. We will definitely be using them again when we visit the area next. I get motion sickness easily so I wear a prescription patch for it. He also had dramamine in case I needed it. Being that the waters were a little rough , I decided to take one. Thankful I did because I didn’t get sick while others who never get sick were puking after the dives.“

“El servicio fue excelente!! Hice dos inmersiones con Francisco, en Punta Negra y San Miguel. Estuvieron muy bien las dos. Francisco de 10, siempre atento a cuestiones de seguridad, muy profesional, atento también a la fauna. En cuanto a este último punto, fue excelente, se pudo ver tiburón gato, tortuga, langostas, morena, pez piedra, pez globo, etc. Los recomiendo sin lugar a dudas.“
