I only did one two tank dive but was very happy with the friendliness and quality of service from BJ and her team. I rented kit and it was all good and well maintained. Most of the boat party were students so just two of us were able to go off with the divemaster who was relaxed but professional and... More

I contacted Bobbie at diving safaris about 7 months before my trip was planned for Costa Rica. She was helpful via email and I booked 4 people for 4 days of diving. I asked that they take us to a new site on every dive. There was only one repeat dive over the 4 days but it was on a... More

This was my first time diving and Bobbi Jo offered me a 1:1 "Deep Water Certification" experience that allowed me the space to ask a ton of questions and get plenty of personal attention. She was careful, patient and I felt safe through the entire process. The visibility was somewhat limited due to the weather and red tide, but we... More

Experienced divers know that you can't control the sea. Diving Safaris are professional, welcoming, attentive, knowledgeable and fun. Having over 60 dives, we are hard pressed to find a more accommodating group. Thanks again and we will be back. More
