Muy recomendable. Equipo profesional. Éramos 4 buceadores certificados con 2 monitores, siempre pendientes de todo. Buena equipación.
El barco, con bordas altas de madera y techado es súper cómodo, con suficiente espacio para moverse de pie y estar protegido del sol.
Monitores muy agradables y animados.

We thought we booked a snorkeling trip. We were never informed that we would be sharing the trip with divers. There were 8 snorkeled amongst 12 divers which were clearly the priority. We dropped off in a location to swim for 45 minutes in open ocean while the boat left to drop and pick up the divers. There was 0 visibility and only saw 2 murky schools of fish. The second location that we were dropped was even worse with no fish even seen. Again the boat was off dealing with the divers. The divers all seem to have a great time while not 1 snorkeller was please. Our guide just kept apologizing when he was not catering to the divers dnd their guides. If diving, this company might be great but snorkelkers were just paying to fill seats in the boat. I went up express my concerns with the owner afterwards to give him the opportunity to make it right in some manner and he was not interested in what I had to say and just kept saying he didn’t believe me. I will never book another snorkel adventure with a dive company. I gave now found a few review sites for this company and there are many, many similar reviews… do your research.

Hi Devlin, we're sorry that your tour was so disappointing. We want to clarify that all our clients are our priority, regardless of the activity they choose. Since you have booked through our website, you can see that we also offer diving services; we recommend clarifying any doubts before booking. We're sorry our order of entry into the water didn't suit you. Also we never thought that the conditions you described to us were a lie.; we believed you. We were just surprised, since the previous day had been extraordinary for snorkeling; they even managed to see rays. However, we greatly appreciate your recommendation that people research our reviews before booking. As you can see, many snorkeling reviews are positive, while others focus on the conditions on a particular day. Anyone can confirm this right now, as you tour was FEB 13th, here below you can read a review from Kate M, she was on the tour on FEB 11th, two days before you.
Unfortunately, the Catalina Islands are in open water, and we can't control or predict the conditions there. You can confirm with any other company in the area that the conditions on the islands don't match the weather forecasts. Regarding the boat's behavior, we inform people in the pre-snorkeling briefing that the boat moves a little further out. He only moves further out to avoid being exposed to the currents that crash against the rocks, since the captain is above water level. It often happens that he's not visible from the surface, but the captain always keeps an eye on the snorkeling equipment.
We recommend checking the most current conditions to know what to expect from the tour or visiting places with controlled weather. Besr regards

The weather and the visibility were not perfect, but even with that condition the experience was amazing we saw sharks and a turtle. Thanks to all the crew and n special to Manuel.

Fantastic snorkle, the guide showed us starfish etc & found interesting things for us to see. We saw a whole school of Devil Ray's swimming & jumping which was a highlight as well a reef sharks & barracuda. It was an early start, but we were collected from our hotel which was brilliant. The online booking system was easy to use & also a bonus. Very happy with all the crew, equipment & fruit snacks provided. Thank you, would definitely recommend.

We had an amazing trip with Tamarindo Divers. Very professional outfit with good kit, a really good boat for going to Catalinas Island.
Lili was a great, beautifully bonkers, enthusiastic dive guide. You could tell how much she loved her job and also seeing the enjoyment of her divers. The dives were great, lots of rays, sharks l, barracudas and she found the resident seahorse and baby 🙌
After our two dives we went back during sunset and were royally spoilt with food and wine.
Would highly recommend
