We loved our trip with these guys. So knowledgeable, patient and kind. We hadn't been diving for a few years, and they were so helpful in calming our nervousness. I felt totally comfortable with them even when I had a leaking mask thing (hair in the side -- totally my fault). We saw so many kinds of sea stars and nudibranchs! Sea lions, and dolphins on our trip out were a highlight too. In addition, the volcanic rock formations were spectacular. Our boat captain was so careful around the marine life but still got us close enough to see and enjoy them. Enzl took us for our first dive, and was careful to point out nudibranchs he saw since he knew I loved them. Maria was the one who helped me when I had the leaking mask, and didn't make me feel bad for one minute. I so appreciated that. Nikee was also so helpful and knowledgeable about tides and conditions. He also helped another couple with us, the husband who had never been SCUBA diving before. The husband said these people were so patient and knowledgeable that he had a good time (he had previously thought he hated the ocean after a bad experience with another diving place in Hawaii) I'd 100% recommend this company.

Dolphin Dive Center is a great place to dive! We don't speak Spanish very well, but the staff kindly spoke English for us. Maria was very responsive to our requests, they have reasonable rates and made sure we had all the equipment we needed. The boat captain was pleasant and competent. Alex the dive leader was awesome! Alex was especially good with our 15 year old son who has limited dive experience. He had my son take his time and get used to the gear before we submerged. The dive spot on Coronado Island had a lot of fish and the second dive with the sea lions was fun. My son accidentally dropped his mask in the water and Alex took a deep breath, dove down and managed to retrieve it for him. We had 3000 bar in our tanks to start, we dove shallowish, not more than 10 m, and our dive average was 53 minutes, a long while even though the water was cold, 67 F in March. It was easy to find a a great experience over all!

I did my Advanced Open Water Cert with Rafita P, he's a fantastic instructor. He helped me perfect my buoyancy control, as well as other aspects of my diving. The diving in Loreto was very pretty, I would highly recommend the Night Dives, and the Wreck Dives, they're quite fantastic. Dolphin Dive Center is one of the best dive shops I have been to. 10/10!!

Went out to Coronado island. Had wonderful time snorkeling the big rocks around the cave and then over to the sandy beach. Ansel was a great host and helped us with everything. The little lunch was great. Highly recommend using them for a great dive experience

I highly recommend Dolphin Dive for scuba and snorkeling tours in Loreto. Maria and Rafa are incredible and make sure that every part of your tour is exceptional. Every one of their staff members are friendly, accommodating, and very knowledgeable.

This is our third-year diving with Dolphin Dive in Loreto and they are wonderful. Maria, Ensel, and Alex are all great dive masters. The take you where you want to go, dive at the speed and depth you request and know some amazing places for wonderful experiences. We have dived all over the world and while the dives in the Sea of Cortez are not as colorful as those in the Pacific, the number of fish, sea lions, rays, dolphins etc. is exceptional. We have never had a bad dive with these people. I highly recommend Dolphin Dive to any diver regardless of their experience levels.

We had an amazing time diving with Rafa. We feel so lucky because we got to go with Rafa for three days in a row, with only one other diver on the boat for two of those days. We saw tons of marine life - my favorite was the sea lions! The scenery between dives is breathtaking, watching birds and hanging out on white sand beaches. I almost don't want to post this because we want to keep it to ourselves ;-). Dolphin Dive Center is safe, clean, and the people are friendly and top notch. You can't go wrong with them.

Had an AMAZING, ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE experience!! The equipment was new, high quality, and safe. Rafael was extremely knowledgeable, responsible, and led us to the best spots! We dove with sea lions, saw beautiful reefs, and went to a gorgeous beach where they provided a delicious lunch. They took us sight seeing on a boat ride where we saw beautiful scenery, blue footed boobies, and even a sea turtle! It was one of the best experiences I’ve had! Hoping to go back again!

Experienced staff who are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about all things water related. The snorkeling and lunch tour was the highlight of our week in Loreto. Maria is an outstanding guide and host. The staff and crew are awesome at helping land lovers experience the rich diversity and beauty of life in the ocean. Highly, highly recommended.

We were recently given the opportunity to spend some time in Loreto the last week of February, 2018. Is it possible to schedule a blue whale watching tour or two when we're in Loreto, or do we need reservations?
Written January 24, 2018
Make reservations ASAP and I recommend Dolphin, great service

Do you have to be certified? What is the cost
Written November 7, 2015
Yes you should be certified, although they also have discover scuba also where you do not need certification. For prices look on their website and click on the "certifcations" tab at the top.
Written November 7, 2015
I'm a certified diver and was thinking about 2 days of diving. Do you remember what the cost is and which places would you recommend if you only had 2 days to dive.

While DDC is a good dive operator, there is another very good dive operator in Loreto that should always be considered. I have dove many dives with Sea And Land Eco Tours (yes - the business name does not say anything about diving) and have always had a great experience. Juve and Sara are the owners and at least one of them go out with you on your dives. Juve grew up in Baja California Sur and has been diving the region longer than any other dive master/instructor. They have several boats and offer quite a few other activities besides diving and snorkeling, including whale watching both in the Sea of Cortez and on the Pacific ocean side where you can see baby Grey Whales, deep sea fishing, island hopping/exploring, hiking, and more. Check out one of my reviews of Sea and Land Eco Tours for more information.
Enjoy your visit to Loreto!
