We are a scuba diving center located in Tamarindo, Guanacaste province, Costa Rica. We provide scuba diving and snorkeling trips as well as diving certification courses
We enjoyed our snorkelling trip. The instructors were very helpful and very friendly. The boat ride to the Catalina Islands was beautiful. We got so lucky as we saw a pod of dolphins swimming right next to the boat.. If you are a person who gets nauseous on boats, I would recommend taking two nondrowsy. Gravels at least 2 hours beforehand.

Hello Jane, thank you for booking with us, we are very happy to hear that you had a great time on the tour, we hope to see you again, a big hug from all the staff at Tamarindo Diving Center... Pura Vida..
We had the absolute best day snorkeling with Tamarindo Diving. Sam was our man and made us feel welcome and comfortable. We got insanely lucky and saw 2 humpback whales (Mom and baby) breaching very close to our boat. We saw a big manta ray, eagle ray, sting rays, white tip reef sharks and giant pacific puffers. 👌The enrite crew and the captain were very cool and knowledgeable people. We will definitely use Tamarindo Diving the next time we are in Tamarindo.

thank you so much Rosemarie for this kind words. Thst day was really epic!! Sam is a great instructor, im sure he will be super happy you talked about him. We hope you come back for more adventures! Pura vida!
Wir hatten tolle Tauchtage mit einem tollen Team. Jeder Tag war anders, mal gute Sicht, mal weniger, aber die Guides haben immer das beste daraus gemacht, immer gut drauf und sehr hilfsbereit. In der Pause auf dem Boot gibts kleine Snacks und zu trinken und Kapitän Franklin hatte immer ein waches Auge nach Walen und Delphinen während der Fahrt. Dafür gibts dann auch mal eine extra Runde. Unser Highlight war ein Tauchgang mit Mantas zum anfassen nah, einfach nur genial.
Von uns gibts eine volle Empfehlung für Tamarindo Diving mit Davide und seinem Team ( Lilly, Manu und Lilly…..und allen die ich jetzt leider vergessen habe)
Herzlichen Dank
Jürgen und Heike
Really great experience! I completed the Open Water Scuba Diver course with Tamarindo Diving and could not have asked for better instructors. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole process felt very safe!
Overall trip was OK. End of Feb water temps were much colder than I figured, mid 60's. Some current which the divemaster did a good job of avoiding. Visibility was fair to poor maybe 40' max. The crew were really good and helpful. Good snacks between the dives. It's nice being able to make a short walk from the dive shop to the beach for pickup.

Hi Alan, thank you for the review. January and February are Costa Rican cold, that why we recommend wetsuit, maybe double wetsuit for people that are very sensitive to the cold. But still is the best moment in the year when you will have the higher chances to see the Manta Ray. Pura Vida
