I did my PADI with Dolphin Dive on Little Corn in September 2022 within three days and can highly recommend them. The Dive Center around Adam is well equipped, very experienced and fun to be around. My instructor Bruno was super patient and able to calm my initial panic down. He made me feel safe, took the time to explain and did a great job showing the buddy group around the amazing reefs of Little Corn. On our last dive we saw three dolphins which let dreams come true… 10/10!

Dolphin dive is hands down the best dive center on LCI. I have logged many dives with them and every time I have learned something, I have never been disappointed and always have felt safe and well taken care of. I highly recommend the night dive close to the full moon. It was absolutely amazing! Thanks to Adam and crew for the great memories. Looking forward to doing more in the future.

Superb dive shop. Good rental equipment. Great vibes.
The team takes care of all chores, you literally only have to dive. Very considerate with different experience levels and interests. Sufficient support and safety checks where needed but also letting experienced divers do their things.
I had four days of awesome diving with them.

I dived with Dolphin Dive for the first time in 2018, and coming back in 2023 was just as wonderful an experience! The group of dive masters are all fabulous, and do an excellent job showing you all kinds of amazing underwater life. Our refresher dive was a nice reminder since it had been a couple years since we'd dived due to the pandemic, and Claudia did a great job refreshing us on our skills. The sites are all nearby, within a 5-15 min boat ride, but even so close in, the diving is truly spectacular. An excellent shop, very professional, very safe, and awesome dives. Can't recommend highly enough!

Did a few dives with them. Not a bad company, good value for money. Some of the gear was a bit worn. Would have been nice if they provided water and snacks in between dives like a lot of companies do.
They have a policy and only accept divers that have been diving in the past year, but there were a few on the boat that openly admitted they hadn’t been diving for over this period and had no refresher.

The diving in little corn is fantastic, and this dive shop is definitely the best on the island. Adam was easy to deal with. Jen provides an amazingly thorough and extensive briefing about the wildlife we would see on our night dive (one of the best briefings we’ve ever had). She was also a great dive master. Dingus was a legend. Super cool instructor and really easy to get along with. Made us feel comfortable and was thorough with everything. Also just an all round great bloke who generously let us use some of his personal equipment on our dives. Gary was a really fun dive master to go out with as well, clearly knows the reef better than anybody and pointed out all sorts of amazing tiny things that only someone in tune with the ocean can spot. Overall an amazing experience doing 5 dives and our advanced open water here. Also great value.

Dingus taught me my PADI openwater. He’s a great, knowledgeable instructor who sometimes makes decisions above his pay grade ;). He’ll let you know when this occurs and correct appropriately. He gave my friend his advanced open water rating and he had an awesome time as well. We were able to do the bioluminescent dive (night dive) as well which was really cool. Molly, Claudia, Tom and Gary are skilled and knowledgeable as well. Kate was a DMT while I was there and she’s also great. I highly recommend the shop, course, fun dives or an intro dive.

Possibly the best dive shop I’ve ever used. Super organized, attentive, and supportive. I had had a scary diving experience last year in Cozumel, and had been anxious about diving again, but wanted to give it one last chance. Jen and Adam were both such amazing guides that I felt completely comfortable and got my confidence back, and am looking forward to many more dives in the future. And we dove with a large pod of dolphins, which was AMAZING. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for helping me get back my absolute favorite activity in the world. ❤️

Completed my PADI at Dolphin Dive with Molly. Adam runs a tight ship, and Molly was absolutely fantastic. I honestly don't think I could have learnt without her. Always felt totally safe, but challenged and saw some amazing sea creatures. We will be back!

Great diving school! We did our open water course here in 3 days. Jen is an amazing instructor and tailored the course to our needs. All the staff is very friendly and they definitely try their best to show you everything around the reef.

Hello, are there still hammerhead sharks in tarpon channel? The last review mentioning a hammerhead was in 2017. And if so what months have the best chance in seeing them? Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately it's been a couple of years since we've seen one diving, but nurse sharks are common here and occasionally reef sharks

We are thinking of taking a dive trip to Corn Island during Thanksgiving Week. Are there enough dive spots to keep us busy for a week of diving?

Troy, we have around 20 dive sites in total, but access to them is weather dependent so would have to be assessed at the time. We aim to avoid repeating dive sites for customers when possible.
