I have been to the Galapagos in Summer '11 and did my open water course there. Many of the schools I checked didn't look that professionell and Scuba Iguana was too crowdy and to expensive (700$). Someone recommended Silberstein and I went over there to talk to the dive instructor. I met Carlos, the best diving instructor I can imagine... More

The Dive Center Silberstein team was experienced and extremely tentative to everyone’s needs.  We stayed at The Hotel Silberstein for 9 days and was not planning on diving during our vacation.  There were 2 openings to dive on New Year’s Eve 2011 so we booked it.  There were a lot of first timers in our group so Jessie (Dive Instructor)...

We did our Advanced-Open-Water-Diver with Silberstein Dive Center.

If the rangers catch the boat they can cancel the dive and you won't get your money back... This dive center is one of the three that have the... More

Wow, diving in the Gordon Rocks is something! We made two dives with these professional team. Good instructions, well coordinated and good service attitude. Special thanks to our instructors Alex and Africa! Great job, hope to come back some time. More

Since all the other recommended diving center were full we went to Silberstein, a bit frightened by the first tripadvisor comment and it turned out to be... Perfect ! Alex, the dive master, was really helpful to arrange everything for my open water and the advanced level for my boyfriend. By the way, all the team was really friendly and... More
