I had an amazing diving experience with Aquatica, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service they provided.They exceeded my expectations in every way.
The staff at Aquatica were not only professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly and helpful. They created an atmosphere of safety and trust, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. I truly felt well taken care of and secure throughout the entire dive day.
The equipment provided was of high quality and well-maintained. Instructors took the time to explain each step thoroughly and answered my questions patiently. It was evident that they had extensive experience and a passion for diving, contributing to making the entire experience memorable.
The location of the dive was spectacular, and I got to witness an incredible underwater world. We both saw turtles, octopus, loads of different fish and corals, the biggest sting ray I have ever seen, eel and fascinating marine life.
I highly recommend Aquatica to anyone looking for a professional and memorable diving experience. I look forward to returning and exploring more underwater treasures with them in the future!

I did a two tank walk-in dive trip with Aquatica this week, and it was a great experience overall.
John (Dive Master in Training) led the first dive, and the briefing was succinct and completely professional. While our Crash Boat Beach site was shallow, the submerged platforms (damaged by Hurricane Maria in 2017) were now becoming sites for soft and hard coral growth, along with quite a few fish. While this site was uninspiring while snorkeling the previous day, the scuba dive experience was quite good due to my proximity to the coral. Our second dive was at El Naturale, sited about a mile north. Average depth was 60', but the coral diversity was good and visibility about 80 feet. We even found a shark, turtle and moray eel. None of them ate me. I considered that a win.
I recommend Aquatica for your dives--they were friendly, professional and easy to work with.

Super professional, relaxed and knowledgeable dive master. Damian and his crew were top notch. This was my first Dive after getting certified 6 months ago and I could not have asked for a better experience. Damian was very thorough during initial site and safety briefing . The dive site in Crash Boat was beautiful and had tons of underwater life. We were Lucky enough to hang with a Hawksbill Turtle for a bit. Second Dive to the anchor down 100 feet was super fun. I loved to experience that depth for the first time. We had to do an emergency ascend for one of the divers in our small group, and again Damian and his son were top notch and had everything under control for the group to remain safe, relaxed and to continue to enjoy the Dive at a lesser depth. I would definitely dive with Aquatica underwater again. Almost forgot, Rental equipment was in great condition!

Gina was really amazing and nice, did a great job! Especially when someone's regulator stopped working, buddy breathing was quick and effective.
My regulator was leaking heavily (huge bubbles) and we had to switch it out.
I felt like the equipment wasnt very safe to use. Also, almost everyone thought this was a boat dive and it ended up being two shore dives, I think they could communicate that better on their website and during booking. The second dive of the reef was very beautiful however, I highly recommend the dive from Natural Beach even over the crash boat site.
Overall was a decent trip, but I would probably dive with another company next time with safer reviews.

I went to this diving center during the Christmas holidays on the advice of a friend. during the booking phase, I had difficulty communicating with them with response times of a few days initially and then they no longer replied either to my e-mails or to my messages on facebook. However, I booked a shore dive with 2 tanks for about $ 160. We left for the dive almost 1 hour late. I got the impression of a certain nervousness of the staff. In total, there were about a dozen divers, some fresh from certification. Although the dives were easy and shallow, the guide's service was the minimum necessary, in my opinion not enough to make the experience pleasant and enjoyable. In general, the service offered was scarce if not non-existent also in terms of kindness and courtesy which are crucial for customer satisfaction. My first experience with this diving was not the best. The high cost would have offered much more from every point of view. The quality / price ratio is very bad. Non-existent or not perceived pluses to recommend this shop. I recommend underestimating alternatives that the island is rich in.

I've always enjoyed snorkeling but thought it would be fun to do a Discovery Scuba session. To say I was nervous is an understatement. Damien from Aquatica was amazing and I could not have completed the session without his expert guidance, calming skills, and patience. Because of him. I was able to experience the ocean from below, not just on the surface. We started with a classroom session and video, then headed to Crash Boat beach for the scuba. We started in 10 feet of water and got comfortable with the equipment and had to perform several skills tests. It was clear that safety was a priority, as well as our comfort with being underwater. We then swam to around 25 feet deep and the wreckage of the end of the pier caused by hurricane Maria. We saw a large stingray and an amazing assortment of colorful fish. Damien had a board that he could write on underwater, to point out what we were seeing. It was really a unique experience. If you are thinking of trying scuba, I highly recommend Aquatica and in particular Damien. Again, he was a really good teacher and very experienced in making you comfortable underwater.

Excellent communication and truly there for his guests, Damien was a pleasure to plan this dive with. Greeted at the shop, expectations set, its clear he enjoys what he does both in and out of the water.
Careful of each individual in the group in terms of safety and entertaining, Damien was kind enough to show us critters big and small while taking some candid, digital memories.

Desecheo is a summer treat we finally got to indulge in this year.
Josue and his team were accomodating from start to finish. Solid touch on the surface interval sandwhich and unforgetable dives.

We decided to go on a family fun dive with kids 11 to 16. The fun dive started at crash boat beach. Visibility was ok but not great.
The best part of our dive was the dive master (Damien, I believe) by far who made sure that everyone (including French teenagers) had all the proper instructions and skills to complete their first dive.
In short we highly recommend this dive shop if you are on the west coast of Puerto Rico!

The personnel were flawless and willing to go over and above for me as a newly certified scuba diver! It was clear that the dive guide, Gina, knew her underwater landscape thoroughly! She guided me to see wondrous coral areas of that reef and the beings that inhabit the reef. She was clear on all the safety needs, working with the weights that I might need for maximum ease in buoyancy control. It was a wonderful experience and highly recommended!

I can’t say enough about how great Damian was as our scuba instructor. It was our very first time scuba diving, and he made us feel super comfortable and safe throughout the entire process. If you are a beginner at scuba and want to check it off your bucket list, I highly recommend you check this out.
