I had a great outing with banderas scuba republic.i dont dive, i just snorkel. but i went out with other divers and I could see that Cesar pays close attention to each diver, ensuring their comfort and safety with gear and all aspects of the dive. He´s got a nice relaxed style on the water, great boat and great captain,... More

I am a former Dive Master and rather picky about the dive operations I dive with. I can assure you that I can fully endorse Banderas Scuba Republic and Cesar Ortega. I dove every day for one week and the level of professionalism was top notch. Cesar has a real respect for safety and that was important to me, even... More

I am glad that my Lonely Planet guide recommended Banderas Scuba diving!! When writing mails to Cesar, the owner, two days in advance, i got a very, very quick response from him and could start diving and taking my PADI diving certificate already 2 days after. When arriving to the office, who is placed very central in Vallarta, both Cesar,... More

My family chose Banderas Scuba to dive with while in Puerto Vallarta over spring break and we were in expert hands. Cesar and his crew were very capable of handling my husband and 5 young teens who were completing their open water dives to become certified. While the time of our visit wasn't ideal diving in Puerto Vallarta, Cesar made... More

Cesar is one of the most competent, professional, and DELIGHTFUL divemasters I have ever had the pleasure of meeting! He provided a very... More

After a 12 years break from diving I decided to pick it up again. I chose to go dive with Banderas Scuba Republic in Puerto Vallarta during my Mexico vacation. After a theory and practice update training I went diving with Cesar at Los Arcos and Mismaloya Beach. He is very easy going as well as top profesional and I... More

My friend and I dove with these guys 2 days in a row. My friend was getting open water certified. From the beginning commuincating through email with Cesar and the staff, they were very prompt and attentive before we even arrived. My friend getting certified was paired up with Anibal as an instructor, and Anibal did a fantastic job getting... More
