    My husband is an experienced advanced cert diver and I was working on my open water dive cert. Alejandro was the best instructor I could’ve wished for. He made it possible for me to love scuba. Under water he is so zen and reassuring. I became excited to dive instead of scared and unsure. He reads personalities like a pro and knows what you need for support to reach out if your comfort zone while learning. I really am so thankful we went with this outfit for my first diving cert. ….and the dives were BEAUTIFUL!!! The dive masters are respectful of the environment and the inhabitants while taking you through a dream of a dive. I whole heartedly recommend this place. Great equipment too!

    A great place to get Open Water Certified, my buddy and I decided to pull the trigger on a PADI certification here and it was AMAZING. The whole crew was absolutely fantastic, they were kind and super knowledgeable. I felt very safe and had a wonderful experience.

    The whole thing was breathtaking! I was lucky enough to see an amazing variety of sea life, from dolphins and whales to rays, sharks, octopuses, giant starfish and lots more! Davide and the instructors where very professional and nice, we all had a great time it was truly a unique experience, way beyond what I expected!

    We completed our 4 open water dives through Tamarindo Diving and cannot say enough positive things about it! Toby and Davide were awesome. They ensured we felt comfortable, our equipment was set up safely and we were confident with what the plan was in the water. It was a perfect experience for completing our first open water dives and getting our certificate. Both instructors knew about the area, the different sea life and were very experienced and professional with everything they did. Thank you so much for a great experience to start off our diving adventures!

    Davide was excellent, taking wonderful care of my daughter and me during our certification. His Italian charm and enthusiasm for diving is infectious. It was also well organized. Highlight spottings included a white tipped shark, lots of spotted rays, water breaching devil rays and some large nasty looking Morays.
