My husband and I booked a snorkeling excursion with Papa Hogs. The confirmation said to be there 15 minutes prior to the 10:00am excursion and to be sure we were on local time not ship time. We double-checked to be sure we were and got to the shop by 9:30am - 1/2 hour early. The owner growled at us because... More

This dive company was referred to us by a professional instructor that we met in the Bahamas. She told us the owners are great, the management and staff are professional and friendly. Very relaxing. We stayed at Villa Blanca right next door which was so easy and comfortable. Great food withing walking distance North and South. We are booked to... More

It is rare in this day and age when a company's mission remains steady and true to it's original ideas. However Papa Hogs Scuba Emporium has maintained their high quality service with a focus on safety for the customers and crew. Jabas cheerfully and professionally fitted our needed gear with a smile and a disposition that could melt an iceberg,... More

I have been to Papa Hogs many times and always find them wonderful. I test my own nitrox tanks and they are happy to see me do so and always want to know if the tanks test our correctly, which for me so far they have. John More

For you snorkelers, if you want to get on a large boat with 40 other people or a loud drinking boat then book through a large company or through the cruise ship.

I have been diving with Mike and Margaret for close to 20 years now. Even on days where the weather craps out on you, I would just hang out with everyone. It really has the feeling of a great dive club. I like the fact that if you are an earlybird and there are 6 divers, they will take you... More

Very professional and safe dive outfit. Picked us up at our resort "Occidental" and showed us the best of the Palancar Reef. If you are sick of the cattle boats that pack you in, going with a small outfi is a real pleasure. This is our second year w/ the Hog and they took great care of us. Fast boats... More

Would like to thank Mike and Margaret for another great week of diving. Did a 5 day package and they picked me up every day at our resort with no problems. This week of September was very slow for the entire island and the boat never had more than 2-3 divers, Papa Hogs treated each of us in the boat... More
