I have difficulty with my ears when scuba diving and was nervous to try again. Our guide, Fernando Cruz, took my sister (who is certified) and myself (I've been scuba diving once before & had a hard time equalizing the pressure in my ears) out for what ended up being the dive of a lifetime. I had pain in my... More

(I never told him but my biggest fear is to die drowned). Was very patient, took time until we... More

I did the scuba diving/kayak/snorkling adventures with them. Absolutely amazing, the staff were incredible. I don't think I had a moment where I wasn't being entertained on the boat. (They are great hosts -still lauging!) It was my first time ever scuba diving! I was super nervous. My instructor Fernando Cruz, was so calm and understanding. I don't know if... More
