Highly recommend this workshop! Cesar is so knowledgeable and has infectious energy about marine life! Truly amazing work he and his team ate doing! Isa and Sky share his passion and are amazing hosts!

Amazing time that definitely exceeded all expectations. My guide Lily was thorough, organized and generous, I signed up for an introduction day but experienced so much more! We saw tons of marine life. It was a truly life changing adventure. Obviously wildlife and conditions will vary for everyone and there were parts that were murky- thats just nature, but even the certified divers on our trip said it was in their top three dives. If you’re curious or certified don’t miss out!

During our stay in Tamarindo, I completed five two-tank dives with Tamarindo Diving and had an outstanding experience. Lily and her staff were professional, friendly, and very accommodating. There is another instructor also named Lily who is from Brazil. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well equipped, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We dove the Santa Catalina Islands, about a 45-minute boat ride from Tamarindo Beach. The ride out was enjoyable, with great scenery and an upbeat, attentive crew. Underwater, the guiding was excellent. My guides—Lily, Lily Brazil and Manu—did a fantastic job locating both large pelagics and small macro subjects. On our dives we encountered huge schools of spot-tail grunts, schools of mobula rays, white-tip reef sharks, eagle rays, octopus, and several species of stingrays. The macro life was equally impressive, with sightings of harlequin shrimp, a wide variety of nudibranchs, and countless blennies. A real highlight was Lily finding a seahorse on the very first dive—a rare and special sighting for this area, and a testament to her sharp eyes and local knowledge. Between dives, the crew provided refreshments including fresh fruit, cookies, peanuts, water, and juices. They were also happy to share recommendations for local restaurants, and Lily pointed out Tamarindo’s weekly Thursday night market, which was a great bonus. Overall, Tamarindo Diving delivers a well-run operation with excellent guides, great service, and memorable diving. I would not hesitate to dive with them again and highly recommend them to anyone visiting Tamarindo.

Wonderful diving experience. Very friendly, funny and professional people. Thanks for an awsome afternoon.
