I am a non-certified first-time diver. Had a discovery dive at Catalina Islands. Wanted to try scuba and had an excellent experience to remember with training pool and two ca 40min dives. Riski was the best possible instructor to learn diving with!

Riski was the best possible instructor to learn diving with!I did 2 diving sessions with Santi. It was great. Quality equipment, pre-dive session in the pool, fun team, great organisation. Santi is a great instructor, cares a lot, explains well and gives you confidence. He also took amazing pictures of the dive. Perfect day.

After snorkeling one day to Las Catalinas with Pacific Coat Diver, my daughter and I decided to go back to try out diving the following day. The whole day was run very professionally, starting with a pool dive to get comfortable with all the diving equipment, and followed by two open water dives at 12m. It was a windy day so dive sites were limited but we had great fun on both dives and especially enjoyed our second dive at Honeymoon beach where we saw an octopus, lobsters, two spotted eagle rays and lots of fish. Our dive guide Bruno was fantastic, attentive and great at spotting marine life. The rest of the crew in the boat was super useful, informative and fun (especially the English guy from Bristol!).The entire staff was amazing on our trip and seemed to genuinely enjoy what they do. Santi was out instructor/guide and was a blast and to dove with. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable and great at instruction, he was having a fun time doing it.

Not only was he extremely knowledgeable and great at instruction, he was having a fun time doing it. His love for the water got my cousin motivated to get his certification and continue on with diving. By far the best experience we've had while in Costa Rica. Highly recommend!Absolutely outstanding experience for beginner / uncertified divers. We had close up experiences with a giant manta ray, numerous other rays, langosta, starfish, and more. The guides were terrific and very protective of my 10-year-old and other children on the trip. Just the right amount of time ...
Absolutely outstanding experience for beginner / uncertified divers. We had close up experiences with a giant manta ray, numerous other rays, langosta, starfish, and more. The guides were terrific and very protective of my 10-year-old and other children on the trip. Just the right amount of time for beginners, and just the right amount of pool training beforehand. Highly recommended.We had such a great time! Everyone was very helpful with getting hooked up and using the gear. The scuba groups were small enough that everyone got plenty of help. Fernando was my guide, and he was very patient and helpful on the dives. He found and pointed out lots of sea creatures: sharks, eels...

Fernando was my guide, and he was very patient and helpful on the dives. He found and pointed out lots of sea creatures: sharks, eels, stingrays, and tons of fish. Would definitely recommend and would come back!
