Were very professional, friendly and really really looked after me. I felt 100% supported, even though i haven't dived in a while, and enjoyed myself enormously. Saw sharks, rays, heaps of fish and even a turtle!

Hey guys this was my second Scuba Diving experience and my instructor was Jesús from Spain, it was all amazing we were lucky enough to see and dive along with several sharks... Definitely highly recommend, always make sure you can have a nice momery underwater, Remo was the instructor of the other group and was super nice to meet us underwater to kindly take our pictures after I asked for this favour in the boat! It was all worth it and beautiful plus the was was very clear... I onlyWe did 2 days, the first was the refresher course and then 2 dives the next day.

Both my son and I have our PADI licenses; however, due to COVID it hd been a while since we have been diving. We were in Tamarindo for two days, and had seen some amazing photo's and reviews about diving in Costa Rica. So, we decided to book a refreshing course, just to be sure we made no mistakes that would harm us. We booked at TamaDive for the reviews, and a few days in advance we received information on the course location and start time (early... 6:15 AM). And we also received our homework... 21 questions that we had to answer in advance. We got a pick up at the hotel (tanks), and after filing in the usual documents for diving we got a thorough review and refresher by Fiona, who would be our instructor and dive master for the day. And she was serious about the questions and motivation (appreciated). We got our gear (great new equipment - no wet-suit as not required) and had to travel per bus for roughly 40 days to the harbour where our boat and captain was waiting for us. They have a great boat, well equipped for diving. Fiona let us handle the equipment, and checked to ensure compliance and safety. After being instructed properly, we made our first dive that was focused on the refreshing activities. Fiona showed us again under water what to do, and then let us repeat it until properly executed. That took the first part of the dive, after that we looked around and saw beautiful fish like sharks, pufferfish, triggerfish, trumpetfish, crabs, octopus, moray eel... beautiful. We were under water for 57 minutes. The second dive was at a different location, although we more or less saw the same kind of fish. We apparently missed the green see turtle, although we were lucky enough a few days earlier to see one laying eggs in Tortugero. Nothing wrong? Yes, there was, mostly our own mistake. As space on board was limited, we agreed to be on the bow. However, there was no sun protection there and we didn't wear clothes nor did we use suncream... that was a big mistake.
