This was my first time diving and the crew of Mic, Marcela and Walt made it an amazing time. Really enjoyed the experience.

Chris and Sally Davies are professional and friendly. They are also knowledgeable about the dive site, and are extremely ecologically aware. Their boats are big and uncrowded, which was surprising as they said upon my registration that my dive session was fully booked. I think there were only 5 or 6 people going out for the dive. They provided plentiful... More

I dove 2 days with Octopus Divers last week. First let me say that their customer service and overall nature of their operation is probably the best I have experienced over the 100 plus guided dives I've been on in Honduras, Grand Cayman, the USVI, and Puerto Rico. First day, I had a one-on-one experience with Marcella. It was just... More

This was the worst diving experience that we ever had. Morning started out ok but once out it became a nightmare. First dive, no seats to suit up, therefore I got my gear on while having a tank up my butt. Boy that was comfortable. The dive itself was awful. Dive guide, Charlie, was inexperienced only on island for 2... More

Hi Cindy, Thanks for taking the time to leave Octopus Diving a review on tripadvisor.com. I am sorry that you were not happy with your experience at Octopus Diving. I do wish that when I met you upon your return to the diving center after the trip you had expressed your concerns with me. Then we could have talked about... More

We have just been on two dives with the Octopus Dive team. My husband and I have dived before but for our two daughters it was the first time. Dave, Charlie and Walt made the trip so much fun for us and were extremely professional - they took great care of us and made sure our girls were comfortable with... More

I did two dives with the team from Octopus on Tuesday June 6th. From the moment I arrived, and I was greeted by Sally and Marcella I was made to feel welcome and the team was very professional. Sally got me all set up with gear even while holding her cute baby boy! We dove Creole Rocks and Turtle Reef.... More

Dave and Charley were awesome! They were at the same time both professional and relaxed. It is easy to see the passion they embrace for diving. They don't cater to cattle drives, as their boats are smaller, well cared for and offer a more intimate adventure than the "big guys". And for us Americans, they have fun British accents. All...

My girlfriend and I went out with dive instructors Mic and Marcela on a Saturday morning. I did open water certification dives 1 and 2 while my girlfriend snorkeled. We visited both Creole rock and Turtle reef, both of which were great for exploring lots of interesting sea creatures. Mic and Marcela were both safety minded professionals yet you could... More

And it's about time I wrote a review! Octopus Diving is the best as are owners Sally and Chris. They are really experienced with "never done this before" divers and have shown many people the great underwater world for the first time in a safe, relaxing environment. There are beautiful dive sites for certified divers and they are expanding their... More
