People make the difference! Denise, Carol, Vlad, and Gato made our trip and diving in the DR fantastic! The diving was private so we did not have to contend with a boat full of people hitting the water at the same time. The dive sites got better and better as the week progressed. The wrecks were great and provided great... More

If you are going to the DR and want to dive - these folks are special. They pay attention to every detail to ensure you have the best of times and see what the DR really has to offer. I highly recommend the night dive on the wreck - it comes with a funny story.....!!!! More

My brother and I went diving while 3 other family members went snorkeling above us. Visibility was great. Carol was a great instructor and made us feel very comfortable. I had read the great reviews before booking with Denise and Vlad and have no regrets - they exceeded our expectations and we hope to dive again with them some day! More

Dove with Sharky's dive company April 26, 2012. There were four of us (myself, girlfriend and her parents) and we had the boat and day to ourselves to decide what we wanted to do. The two of us did two dives along a beautiful reef while her parents did some snorkelling and swimming. We enjoyed an excellent picnic lunch on... More

My husband and I first met Vlad and Denise in 2010 while on vacation in the DR and staying at the Dreams resort. We booked a one-day snorkeling trip with them on their boat "Sharky" and had such a wonderful time with them that we stayed in contact with them and returned this year to complete our open water dive...

The above says it all. We dove with Sharky's on April 5, 2012 and had the best time ever. Denise and Vlad were the perfect hosts and made my wife, son and I feel like family.

Thank you for taking your time to post a very nice review, I am glad you had a great time. This is exactly what Discover scuba is all about, to show people how beautiful the underwater world is and get them interested in more scuba diving.

Well, after meeting the crew at Sharky’s I would think it would be impossible for them to get a bad review! We had a great experience with them on our two day dive trip. As I was little nervous going with the other dive shops due to the amount of people per dive master there are on each dive and... More
