We have just finished a fantastic week of diving with Dive Zihua. My wife and I took the Padi Open Water Course and we were more than pleased with the level of tuition, patience and consideration we received from dive instructor and owner Joao. It was a week of fun in safe hands. Everything was easy to arrange and the... More

Thank you for the wonderful review. We were very happy to get to meet and dive with your family during the week. It is always great when we can accomodate a large group of people who wish to do different levels of diving.

“Great experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 2, 2013

We dove 3 days in Zihua. It was a great experience! The team is extremely professional and does every thing to make your dives as pleasureful as possible. Very relaxed. Their service is very great. Beautifull sea live, we saw plenty of turtles and rays. Definitely best dive shop in the area!

Thank you for the great review! We love when people come and dive for multiple days because it allows us the opportunity to show more of the area. We were also happy to offer you a Night Dive, which is amazing because you get to see all the different species that are too shy to come out during the day. More

“Had to Go Back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

I had such an amazing experience in October with the team at Dive Zihua, that I slipped in a quick trip back in January. The diving in this area is incredibly beautiful for divers of all levels and the team at Dive Zihua are able to customize a dive experience to satisfy! Had never heard whales underwater. Thank you Joao,... More

My friend and I recently returned from a long weekend in Zihuat, the majority of which was spent underwater with Joao and Gemma. What a magnificent experience! Eagle rays, sea turtles, nudibranchs - we saw it all. The crew at Dive Zihua, including Luis (my savior during a bout of seasick), are both consummate professionals and great good fun. Highly...

Me and my family came to Zihua in October and I really wanted to try to dive. We did a Discover Scuba Diving course and did one dive in a pool and one in the ocean. My pool dive was great because Joao really made sure we knew what we were doing. All of our skills were done until we... More

“Ecologically and Safety Minded Dive Master”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

Joao and his team care about the environment and with every dive take small measures to pass along this ethos to their fellow divers. They remind you when you must be extra careful around delicate marine life and when it is ok to explore with a little more of a hands on approach. They also take the time to pick... More
